yum - Install a package with just the name and version

Question

From what I know about yum, I can specify the name of an rpm, like this:

yum install zlib

I can also specify the whole darn name, like this:

yum install zlib-1.2.3-27.el6.x86_64

Is there a way to specify an intermediate filename? Such as just the name and version, like this:

yum install zlib-1.2.3

When I try, I always get

No package zlib-1.2.3 available.
Error: Nothing to do

Answer 1

Try throwing a * on the end:

yum install zlib-1.2.3*
