pkgrm(1M)           RISC/os Reference Manual            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 com-
                  mand.

     -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 for-
                  mat pkgabbrev.*  can be used to remove all
                  instances of a package.
