pkgeksrm(1M)                                                   pkgeksrm(1M)

NAME
     pkgeksrm - remove single correctional release (SCR) packages from sys-
     tem

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/pkgeksrm [-n | -b basepkg] scrinst [...]

DESCRIPTION
     pkgeksrm removes previously installed SCR packages from the system.

     Several SCR scrinst packages can be specified. Wildcards can also be
     used within scrinst, which must be canceled with single quotes
     ('...') or with a backslash (\).

     The files belonging to the packages are not deleted because the com-
     mand should only be used directly before an update installation.

OPTIONS
     -n   (no remove) The SCR packages are not removed; you are only
          informed of the SCR packages that would have been removed. If the
          -n option is specified, any -b option is ignored.

     -b basepkg
          When removing an SCR package, pkgeksrm uses this option to check
          whether a package information file eksinfo exists for this SCR,
          which contains a

          BASEPKG=basepkg

          parameter. If the file does not exist, or if this parameter is
          missing, or if the parameter value does not match the basepkg
          options argument, the removal of the SCR package will be rejected.

          If this option is not specified, none of these checks will be
          carried out.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The following return codes should be noted:

     0    Successful execution

     1    Abort (usually a wrong call)

     2    Warning

     3    User interrupt

     85   No package scrinst ... available

     88   Error opening eksinfo file

     94   BASEPKG entry in eksinfo file is incorrect

NOTES
     This command should be used with care; since it is not possible to
     determine whether a package is an SCR package, you could also remove
     normal packages from the system with pkgeksrm.
