have a look at my 'captures'. only diff i can see is that 1st has '\',
2nd does not. all of rest looks same to me.

[geo at argosyiayia Desktop]$ ll kdi*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 geo geo 1675 Jul 21 17:12 kdisc1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 geo geo 1674 Jul 21 17:06 kdisc2
[geo at argosyiayia Desktop]$ diff kdisc1 kdisc2
1c1
< [root at argosyiayia geo-sl]# yum whatprovides \*kdict
---

[geo at argosyiayia Desktop]$
