-.TH REMOVEPKG 8 "23 Nov 2001" "Slackware Version 8.1.0"
-.SH NAME
-removepkg \- remove Slackware packages.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B removepkg
-.BI packagename
-.LP
-[
-.B ROOT=/mnt
-]
-.B removepkg
-[
-.B \--copy
-]
-[
-.B \--keep
-]
-[
-.B \--preserve
-]
-[
-.B \--terse
-]
-[
-.B \--warn
-]
-.BI packagename
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B removepkg
-removes a previously installed Slackware package, while writing a progress
-report to the standard output. A package may be specified either by the
-full package name (as you'd see listed in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/), or by the
-base package name. For example, the package foo-1.0-i586-1.txz may be removed
-with any of the following commands:
-
-removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1.txz (also recognized: .tgz, .tbz, .tlz)
-
-removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1
-
-removepkg foo.txz
-
-removepkg foo
-
-When deleting files,
-.B removepkg
-will analyze the contents of the other packages installed on your system, and
-will only delete the files that are unique to the package being removed.
-Similarly, the installation scripts for all the other packages will be
-considered when deciding whether or not to delete symbolic links from the
-package.
-.LP
-Removing a package (as well as installing one) can be a dangerous undertaking.
-For this reason, there is the
-.B \-warn
-option available. When you use this,
-.B removepkg
-will not actually remove any files or links, but will output a detailed report
-of what it would do if you actually did remove the package. It's suggested that
-you do this (and maybe pipe the output to
-.B less
-) before removing packages to make sure you've backed up anything that might
-be important.
-.LP
-When removing a package, it's original file index will be moved from
-/var/lib/pkgtools/packages to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_packages. Likewise, its installation
-script will be moved from /var/lib/pkgtools/scripts to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_scripts.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \--copy packagename
-Construct a copy of the package under /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename,
-but don't remove it. (same effect as \-warn \-preserve)
-.TP
-.B \--keep
-Save the intermediate files created by removepkg (delete_list,
-required_files, uniq_list, del_link_list, required_links,
-required_list). Mostly useful for debugging purposes.
-.TP
-.B \--preserve packagename
-If specified, the complete package subtree is reconstructed in
-/var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename.
-.TP
-.B \--terse
-Remove the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
-.TP
-.B \--warn packagename
-Generate a report to the standard output about which files and directories
-would be removed, but does not actually remove the package.
-.SH " "
-It's possible to remove a package from a filesystem
-other than / by supplying
-.B removepkg
-with a
-.B ROOT
-environment variable:
-.TP
-.B ROOT=/mnt removepkg package
