pkgrm(1M)                      DG/UX R4.11MU05                     pkgrm(1M)


NAME
       pkgrm - removes a package from the system

SYNOPSIS
       pkgrm [-n] [-a admin] [pkginst1 [pkginst2[ ...]]]

       pkgrm -s spool [pkginst]

DESCRIPTION
       pkgrm will remove a previously installed or partially installed
       package from the system.  A check is made to determine if any other
       packages depend on the one being removed.  The action taken if a
       dependency exists is defined in the admin file.

       The default state for the command is in interactive mode, meaning
       that prompt messages are given during processing to allow the
       administrator to confirm the actions being taken.  Non-interactive
       mode can be requested with the -n option.

       The -s option can be used to specify the directory from which spooled
       packages should be removed.

       The options and arguments for this command are:

       -n           Non-interactive mode.  If there is a need for
                    interaction, the command will exit.  Use of this option
                    requires that at least one package instance be named
                    upon invocation of the command.

       -a           Defines an installation administration file, admin, to
                    be used in place of the default admin file.

       -s           Removes the specified package(s) from the directory
                    "spool."

       pkginst      Specifies the package to be removed.  The format
                    pkgabbrev.*  can be used to remove all instances of a
                    package.
