Greetings!

If you remove the * after info, I think that command will work.

I'm sorry I can't help with the upgrade command, since it worked for me.

Subject: Using YUM to Update Speakup


> Hi all,
> 
> I tried using YUM to update Speakup related packages.  The first command that is listed in the YUM howto on the Speakupmodified site seemed to work fine:
> rpm -iv http://speakupmodified.org/speakupmodified-release.rpm
> 
> The second command listed in the howto did not return any messages, so I think it worked:
> rpm --import http://speakupmodified.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-speakupmodified 
> 
> However, this next command seemed not to work when issued, it seemed that it was looking in my home directory and told me that certain items were not found and then terminated:
> yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=speakupmodified upgrade * 
> 
> I then issued the following command to see if any speakup packages exist, however it returned errors saying something about packages not found:
> yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=speakupmodified info * |more 
> 
> I suppose I can download the rpms from the Speakup site, but which ones should I download and how would I go about installing them?  Would I have to place them in my home directory first?  Is there another way I can use YUM that will automatically update Speakup packages?
