.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B removepkg
|
|
removes a previously installed Slackware package, while writing a progress
|
|
report to the standard output. A package may be specified either by the
|
|
full package name (as you'd see listed in /var/log/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/log/packages to /var/log/removed_packages. Likewise, it's installation
|
|
script will be moved from /var/log/scripts to /var/log/removed_scripts.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \--copy packagename
|
|
Construct a copy of the package under /var/log/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/log/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
