       NAME
             removepkg - remove a software package

       SYNOPSIS
             removepkg [pkg]

       DESCRIPTION
             The command removepkg removes the USL-style UNIX system
             software package specified by pkg, or a user-selected package
             if no argument is specified.

             If an argument is specified, removepkg searches the list of
             previously installed packages and removes the first name which
             matches pkg.  If no name is matched, an error message is
             issued.

             If no argument is specified, removepkg queries the user, via a
             menu, about which package is to be removed.

             You must be logged in as root to remove some packages.

       NOTICES
             removepkg is used for pre-Release 4 packages on the Intel 386
             processor.

             removepkg must be invoked from the console.

             removepkg does not work on packages installed with
             custom(1M_XNX).
