pkgrm

Remove installed packages on CRUX Linux

TLDR

Remove an installed package

$ pkgrm [package]
copy

SYNOPSIS

pkgrm [-r root] package

DESCRIPTION

pkgrm removes installed packages from a CRUX Linux system. It deletes all files belonging to the package and removes the package entry from the system database.
The tool does not check for dependencies, so removing packages that other software depends on may break the system. Users must manage dependencies manually.

PARAMETERS

-r _root_

Use alternate root directory
package
Name of package to remove

CAVEATS

No dependency checking. Files modified after installation are not removed. Directories are only removed if empty. Use pkginfo to check package contents before removal.

HISTORY

pkgrm is part of pkgutils, the native package management system for CRUX Linux. It follows CRUX's philosophy of simple, transparent tools that trust the user to manage their system.
