yum installs

[John Dangler]

I am trying to install an rpm of Sablotron which currently resides on my
local drive.  rpm -iv complains about dependencies, so I tried to install it
with yum, since the man page says that if yum doesn't find the package name,
it assumes a shell glob and looks for that.  I fully qualified the name of
the rpm, but yum says that it cannot find a package matching that name.  Did
I misunderstand the man information?

Thanks.
John
