My confusion mostly comes from the following specific to the yum/rpm
provider:

      * the yum provider is a child of the rpm provider
      * the rpm provider has a 'instances' method that returns info
        about currently installed packages
      * the yum provider overrides 'prefetch', but calls 'super' in the
        overridden prefetch
      * even though, the @property_hash in yum provider instances for
        installed packages is empty

It shouldn't be empty, right ?

David
