URPMQ(1) Mageia Package Management URPMQ(1)NAMEurpmq - urpmi database query tool.
SYNOPSISurpmq [options] [package_names | rpm_files...]
DESCRIPTIONurpmq is a tool to access and query the urpmi database. It can be used
to list available packages in the various urpmi media, or to list the
full dependencies of a package, or to list the packages that will be
installed if you start urpmi. The output of urpmq has the following
format, adjusted according to the command-line options that were used:
[group/]package_name[-version][-release][.arch]
OPTIONS--help
Prints a help message and exit (this is the same as -h or -?).
--list
List available packages.
--list-media [type]
List available media. You can optionally add a type selector: all
to list all media (the default), update to list the update media,
or active to list only active media.
--list-url
List available media and their URLs.
--list-nodes
List available nodes for parallel installation (when using
--parallel).
--list-aliases
List available parallel aliases.
--update
Use only update media. This means that urpmq will search and
resolve dependencies only in media marked as containing updates
(e.g. which have been created with "urpmi.addmedia --update").
--media media1,...,mediaN
Select specific media to be used, instead of defaulting to all
available media (or all update media if --update is used). No rpm
will be found in other media.
--excludemedia media1,...,mediaN
Do not use the specified media.
--searchmedia media
Use only the specified media to search for packages that are
specified on the command-line, or which are found when using
--auto-select. Dependencies of those packages can still be found
in other media.
--sortmedia media1,...,mediaN
Sort the specified media. Substrings may be used to simplify
grouping. This way, "media1" will be taken into account first,
then "media2", and so on. Media which aren't listed are taken into
account after the others.
--synthesis file
Use the specified synthesis file instead of the urpmi database for
searching packages and resolving dependencies.
--auto-select
Select all packages that can be upgraded, according to already
installed packages and packages listed in various registered media.
--auto-orphans
List orphans.
--not-available
List packages that are not available on any media. This can help to
find packages that are still installed but that are now obsolete
because they have been removed from the current version of Mageia
Linux.
--no-suggests
With this option, urpmq will not require "suggested" packages. By
default, urpmq will require (newly) suggested packages.
--allow-suggests
With this option, urpmi will install "suggested" packages. This is
useful if you have "no-suggests" in urpmi.cfg.
--keep
When some dependencies cannot be satisfied, change the selection of
packages to try to keep existing packages instead of removing them.
This behaviour generally rejects the upgrade of packages given on
command line (or when using --auto-select) when a dependency error
occurs.
--fuzzy
Disable fast search on exact package name; i.e. it will propose all
packages matching the name partially, even if one of them matches
exactly the specified name (this is the same as -y).
--src name
Search a source package matching name and it will select all
dependencies by default.
--sources
Prints source URLs (or file names) of all selected packages.
--force
Continue when requesting packages that are not available.
--ignorearch
Allow to search packages whose architecture isn't compatible with
the architecture of the host.
--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 to use by urpmi (currently urpmi-parallel-ka-run or urpmi-
parallel-ssh) 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 in the rooted
tree will be used but urpmi configuration comes from 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.
--wget
Use wget for downloading distant files. By default curl is used if
available, or wget instead.
--curl
Use curl for downloading distant files. By default curl is used if
available, or wget instead.
--curl-options 'options'
--rsync-options 'options'
--wget-options 'options'
Specify additional command-line options to be passed to curl, rsync
or wget when retrieving files. If several options are to be passed,
separate them with spaces and enclose them in quotes.
Note that the rsync options will also be used for ssh media.
--proxy proxyhost[:port|1080]
Use specified HTTP proxy.
--proxy-user user:password
Use specified user and password to use for proxy authentication.
Specifying --proxy-user=ask will cause urpmq to prompt for a
username and a password.
--use-distrib directory
Configure urpmq on the fly from a distribution tree.
--env directory
Use a different environment directly from a bug report to replay a
bug. The argument is the same argument given to --bug option.
--skip pattern,...
You can specify a list of packages which installation should be
skipped. You can also include patterns between //, just like in
/etc/urpmi/skip.list (see urpmi.files(5)).
--prefer pattern,...
You can specify a list of packages which installation should be
preferred (especially useful with --auto). You can also include
patterns between //, just like in /etc/urpmi/prefer.list (see
urpmi.files(5)).
--wait-lock
If the urpmi or rpm db is busy, wait until it is available
--changelog
Prints the package changelog.
--conflicts
Prints the package conflicts.
--obsoletes
Prints the package obsoletes.
--provides
Prints the package provides.
--requires
Prints the package requires.
--suggests
Prints the package suggests.
--sourcerpm
Prints the sourcerpm of the package
--summary
Prints concise information about the package.
--verbose
Activate verbose mode.
-v This is the same as --verbose.
-d This is the same as --requires-recursive.
-u Deselect packages if a better version is already installed.
-m Equivalent to -du.
-a Select all matches on command line; that's useful when one gives an
incomplete package name and when using -f or -r.
-c If maximal closure is used, assume that a package listed may have
wrong or not up-to-date dependencies. This causes more packages to
be upgraded and may correct unresolved dependencies on the rpm
database.
--requires-recursive
Print dependencies (maximal closure).
--whatprovides
Search in provides to find package.
--whatrequires
Reverse search to what requires the package given.
--whatrequires-recursive
Reverse search to what requires recursively the package given
(looking through virtual packages).
-S Same as --summary.
-y This is the same as --fuzzy.
-Y Like -y, but forces to match case-insensitively.
-s This is the same as --src.
-p This is the same as --whatprovides.
-i Prints useful information in human readable form, as for rpm -qi.
-g Prints groups of each package listed.
-r Prints also version and release of each package listed.
-f Prints also version, release and arch of each package listed.
-l Lists files in packages.
