Unable to install rpm package using up2date

[hjagpal]

I'm trying to install compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-4.x86_64 package running Oracle Enterprise Linux v5.0. If I run the following command:

# up2date --show-available | grep compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-4.x86_64

I see the following result:

compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-4.x86_64

This tells me that the above package is available for install. I then run the following command to install the package:

# up2date -i compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-4.x86_64

The following packages you requested were not found:
compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-4.x86_64

I get the above error saying package was not found. I'm trying to understand as to why I'm getting the above error even though the package was found earlier. Please help. Thanks.

Only the package name is needed, do not supply any version or release information.

Source: up2date(8) - Linux man page

What does it mean... change it to:

up2date compat-libf2c

or

up2date compat-libf2c-34
