08.YUM.Queries - error in example?

I'm very much enjoying the course!
Last example listed in 08.YUM.Queries is: sudo yum provides "/logrotate.conf"
On my new CentOS 8 box, it is actually: sudo yum provides "/etc/logrotate.conf"
Not sure if this is a problem or not...

I think it's mistake. On CentOS 7& 8 i have logrotate on /etc/.
When i execute
[[email protected] ~]$ sudo yum provides "/logrotate.conf"
i gotNo matches found
But when i run
sudo yum provides "/etc/logrotate.conf"
i gotlogrotate-3.8.6-19.el7.x86_64 : Rotates, compresses, removes and mails system log files[...]

Hi @blbryant ,
Yes, that's an error, it's on /etc/ . I'm gonna report it next week, once that the new platform is running.
Many regards,

Actually it is not technically an error. The original had something like "yum provides /path/to/file" and it got "improved to logrotate.conf. The command can still be run and get a null result, as you found, and prompt you to fix it. In the next version we will either put in a non-existant but clearly non-existent example (like /path/to/file) which I would prefer to /etc/logrotate.conf, so the student can play, or just drop everything after "as in..."

There's certainly an error now, "provides" is currently missing from the invocation:
$ sudo yum /path/to/file
