Removing multiple packages
As i saw from the KDE3.3, we need to remove theses packages before installing 3.3...
How can we remove all kde* related packages? Since the command "removepkg" don't accept wildcards (*)...!!! And i don`t want to do them one by one!... That's absurd for an advanced system... Regards, Ti-Paul. |
upgradepkg
this will remove and install at the same time. |
You could also remove a group of selected packages with pkgtool - if you weren't upgrading them and just wanted to remove them.
|
Use this site's search and look for 'diskset' w/o '. Feedback here or at my original post would be appreciated.

Or if you have swaret just type 'swaret --remove kde' and it will prompt you for a yes or no with any packages that are related to kde. |
pkgtool
Some didn't look carefully at my post...
I asked for a way of doing it NOT ONE BY ONE... In pkgtool, you MUST select them one by one also... The best answer so far is for swaret... I'll use it for "group packaging"... That seem to be the answer... Thanks, |
I take no responsibility if you screw up your install but you could use simple command substitution:
Code:
removepkg -warn $(ls /var/log/packages/kde*) |

You could in a similar manner just upgrade all the kde packages. Simply have them in one directory and do
Code:
upgradepkg --dry-run $(ls /directory/containing/the/packages/*.tgz) EDIT added .tgz to the end of the ls statement. |
