A package may be specified either by the -full package name (as you'd see listed in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/), or by the -base package name. For example, the package foo-1.0-i586-1.txz may be removed -with any of the following commands: - -removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1.txz (also recognized: .tgz, .tbz, .tlz) - -removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1 - -removepkg foo.txz - -removepkg foo - -When deleting files, -.B removepkg -will analyze the contents of the other packages installed on your system, and -will only delete the files that are unique to the package being removed. -Similarly, the installation scripts for all the other packages will be -considered when deciding whether or not to delete symbolic links from the -package. -.LP -Removing a package (as well as installing one) can be a dangerous undertaking. -For this reason, there is the -.B \-warn -option available. When you use this, -.B removepkg -will not actually remove any files or links, but will output a detailed report -of what it would do if you actually did remove the package. It's suggested that -you do this (and maybe pipe the output to -.B less -) before removing packages to make sure you've backed up anything that might -be important. -.LP -When removing a package, it's original file index will be moved from -/var/lib/pkgtools/packages to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_packages. Likewise, its installation -script will be moved from /var/lib/pkgtools/scripts to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_scripts. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \--copy packagename -Construct a copy of the package under /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename, -but don't remove it. (same effect as \-warn \-preserve) -.TP -.B \--keep -Save the intermediate files created by removepkg (delete_list, -required_files, uniq_list, del_link_list, required_links, -required_list). Mostly useful for debugging purposes. -.TP -.B \--preserve packagename -If specified, the complete package subtree is reconstructed in -/var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename. -.TP -.B \--terse -Remove the package displaying only a single description line to stdout. -.TP -.B \--warn packagename -Generate a report to the standard output about which files and directories -would be removed, but does not actually remove the package. -.SH " " -It's possible to remove a package from a filesystem -other than / by supplying -.B removepkg -with a -.B ROOT -environment variable: -.TP -.B ROOT=/mnt removepkg package - -.SH AUTHORS -Patrick J.
