I apologise for my previous mail, I was trying to get that as a separate 
thread and failed big time.
I issued the commands   yum search bluray    dnf search bluray smart 
search bluray   all of which use the same set of repositories, and yum 
and dnf found libbluray packages, but nothing that was a bluray gui 
front end, but smart showed a couple of additional packages, one of 
which I actually have installed (which was Handbrake). Does this mean 
that yum and dnf only search non-installed package descriptions/names?

regards,
Steve
