POSIX regular expression syntax uses '*' to mean 0 or more. So lvm2* would match lvm as well.
'-' should be escaped less it being interpreted as a range seperator.
In this case, slapt-get applies the expression to the package name, package version, package
location, and package description. To specify "lvm" exactly, use ^lvm$ where '$' matches the
line boundary.
take care,
