URPME(1)		   Mageia Package Management		      URPME(1)

NAME
       urpme - rpm deinstaller

SYNOPSIS
	   urpme [options] [package_name...]
	   urpme [options] --auto-orphans

DESCRIPTION
       urpme allows 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.

       --verbose
	   Proposes a verbose mode with various messages.

       -v  This is the same as --verbose.

       --auto
	   Removes packages non-interactively, without asking questions.

       --auto-orphans
	   Removes orphans.

       --test
	   Test deinstallation of packages but do not modify the system.

       --force
	   Force invocation even if some packages do not exist.

       --justdb
	   Update only the database, not the filesystem.

       --noscripts
	   Don't execute the scriptlets. This is equivalent to rpm
	   --noscripts.	 This can be useful to remove packages where uninstall
	   scriptlets fail for some reason.

       --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.

       --urpmi-root directory
	   Use the file system tree rooted for urpmi database and rpm install.
	   Contrary to --root, the urpmi configuration comes from the rooted
	   tree.

       --use-distrib directory
	   Configure urpme on the fly from a distribution tree.

       --wait-lock
	   If the urpmi or rpm db is busy, wait until it is available

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.
