Hello,

thanks for all new and great zypper's features but not everything goes always ideally .. i'd like to report a minor broken feature:

# zypper se --help | grep \\\-f
-f, --file-list            Search for a match in the file list of packages.


this feature - seems like - doesn't work as supposed (perhaps i misunderstand it)

example:
zypper -vv se -f bin/openvpn ## finds nothing even when used asterisks in pattern and so

zypper -vv se -f openvpn ## returns obviously list of packages which bring in some file conatining in path string "openvpn"

regards, daniel

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try searching with `zypper -vv se -f foo'
2.
3.

just to make it clear, i'd suppose that it should work like in examples with yum below:

# yum provides \*lib/libpca\*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: ftp.cvut.cz
 * extras: ftp.cvut.cz
 * updates: ftp.cvut.cz

Fixed for zypper-1.10.1 and
  Code-13_1   zypper 1.9.9
  Code-12_3   zypper 1.8.23

Due to the way file list data are organized in libzypp, the cheap search in basenames is the default. Zypper now requests to search the full path.

But keep in mind that not all repositories actually provide filelist data (or we do not download the complete filelists). Full filelist are available for installed packages. Other kind of repos mostly contain just an abstact (files below bin/ etc/ lib/).
