pkgrm(1M)pkgrm(1M)NAMEpkgrm - removes a package from the system
SYNOPSISpkgrm [-n] [-a admin] [pkginst1 [pkginst2[ . . . ]]]
pkgrm-s spool [pkginst]
DESCRIPTIONpkgrm 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 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 admin Defines an installation administration file, admin, to be
used in place of the default admin file.
-s spool Removes the specified package(s) from the directory spool.
pkginst Specifies the package to be removed. The format pkginst.*
can be used to remove all instances of a package. When
using this format, enclose the command line in single quotes
to prevent the shell from interpreting the * character.
NOTES
Creating the file /var/inst/.nopkg will cause pkgrm to ignore the
inst(1M) database.
