Why did it return??

Since, I can't specify the name of the repo that I want to check against
on the command line, then I could just disable the repo
in /etc/yum.repos.d.  This is inconvenient just for checking what is
available.

==============================================================================
Also, the following works okay:
yum list available "*" |grep development
yum list available "*" |grep extras-devel
==============================================================================

Thanks,
Ernesto
