yum - How does ---exclude work?

[sean darcy]

Trying to use yum - given up on up2date. But:

yum update --exclude ghostscript-devel
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - Development Tree
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Cannot find any package matching --exclude available to be updated.
Resolving dependencies
....Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package ghostscript-devel needs ghostscript = 7.07, this is not available.

So I tried:

yum update --exclude ghost*
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - Development Tree
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Cannot find any package matching --exclude available to be updated.
Resolving dependencies
....Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package ghostscript-devel needs ghostscript = 7.07, this is not available.


Any thoughts?
