SUNWcsu
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. If a dependency exists,
the action taken 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.
Certain unbundled and third-party packages are no longer entirely
compatible with the latest version of pkgrm . These packages require user
interaction throughout the removal and not just at the very beginning.
To remove these older packages (released prior to Solaris 2.4), set the
following environment variable:
NONABI_SCRIPTS=TRUE
pkgrm will permit
keyboard interaction throughout the removal as long as this environment
variable is set.
- -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.
- -R
- Defines the full path
name of a subdirectory to use as the root_path. All files, including package
system information files, are relocated to a directory tree starting in
the specified root_path.
- -a admin
- Use the installation administration file,
admin, in place of the default admin file. pkgrm first looks in the current
working directory for the administration file. If the specified administration
file is not in the current working directory, pkgrm looks in the /var/sadm/install/admin
directory for the administration file.
- -s spool
- Remove the specified package(s)
from the directory spool. The default directory for spooled packages is
/var/sadm/spool/okg.
- pkginst
- Specifies the package to be removed. The format
pkginst.* can be used to remove all instances of a package.
