I wanted to use this concoction, had forgotten it, tried to find it 
again, so I asked chatgpt, and it said there is no such thing. Finally I 
located this message, then told chatpgt about the concoction, and it 
replied that it is not universal in all rpm distros.

Q: Found it. It is: rpm -qa name='*yast*'

Yes — that works on some RPM implementations/shell environments because 
name= is treated as a query selector.

Example:

rpm -qa name='*yast*'

Equivalent to searching package names matching the glob pattern.

The more portable/common form is still:

rpm -qa '*yast*'

because name= is not universally documented across all RPM 
versions/distributions.
