RemovePkg Recursively?
 
I want to rid of every KDE package so I can install the newer set through compilation. To save time in the initial installion, I let it install everything. This resulted in several kde-i18n packages being installed. Is it possible to remove them all with one command using the wildcard?

Yes. It'd be something like:
Code:
removepkg kde-i18n*.tgz
--Shade

Code:
/sbin/removepkg: line 253 [: too many arguments
/sbin/removepkg: line 261: [: too many arguments
No such Package: /var/log/packags/kde-i18n*. Can't remove.
Those errors are what make me wonder about it.

Maybe

for i in /var/log/packages/kde-i18n*
do
removepkg `basename $i`
done
