  $ sudo yum install solve-halting-problem
  Loading "installonlyn" plugin
  Setting up Install Process
  Setting up repositories
  Reading repository metadata in from local files
  Parsing package install arguments
  Nothing to do
  
  
  
  Bullshit.

  PS as to why - well, yum is documented as firstly trying to install the package,
    and if that is not recognised, treat it as a globbing pattern.
    I infer that if the glob matches nothing, yum treats it as a zero length
    list, rather than an error condition. Hateful.
