NAME

urpme - rpm deinstaller

SYNOPSIS

    urpme [options] [package_name...]

DESCRIPTION

urpme allow packages to be deinstalled, including all their dependencies. package_names must have one of the forms name, name-version, name-version-release, or name-version-release.architecture. If you want to specify packages more broadly, use the -a option.

OPTIONS

--help

Prints a help message and exit (this is the same as -h or -?).

-a

If multiple packages match the given substring, deinstall them all.

-v

Proposes a verbose mode with various messages.

--auto

Removes packages non-interactively, without asking questions.

--test

Test deinstallation of packages but do not modify the system.

--force

Force invocation even if some packages do not exist.

--noscripts

Don't execute the scriptlets. This is equivalent to rpm --noscripts.

--parallel alias

Activate distributed execution of urpmi to other machines (it is mandatory that urpmi is installed, but it is not necessary to have media defined on any machines). alias defines which extension module is to be used by urpmi (currently, urpmi-parallel-ka-run or urpmi-parallel-ssh are available) and which machines should be updated. This alias is defined in the file /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg as described below.

--root directory

Use the file system tree rooted for rpm install. All operations and scripts will run after chroot(2). The rpm database that lies in the rooted tree will be used, but the urpmi configuration comes from the normal system.

--use-distrib directory

Configure urpme on the fly from a distribution tree.

FILES

See urpmi.files(5).

EXIT CODES

0

Success; or nothing was found to remove; or the user cancelled the whole operation.

1

Command line inconsistency, invocation failure (you are not root), or packages not found.

2

Removal of packages failed.
