Just say
dnf list cups\*
instead of
dnf list cups*
It may not be of much use to this issue, but on my system which I
have
just upgraded to F24, if I issue "dnf list cups*" or "dnf list cups\*"
I
get the same result which is all packages that have cups specified in
the package name, not just packages that begin with the word cups.
