DESCRIPTION

      lrm  is  part  of  the  Lunar-Linux source-code package management suite. It is a command-line tool for
      automatically uninstalling a module and its associated files.

OPTIONS

      -d, --debug
             enables debug messages, very useful when emailing a bug report

      -D, --downgrade
             downgrade is an option for removing the selected module and  restoring  a  previously  installed
             version

      -h, --help
             outputs short help

      -k, --keepconfig
             remove module(s) but keep dependencies and config info

      -n, --nosustain
             emoves module(s) even if they are sustained

      -u, --upgrade
             perform an upgrade-removal. This skips running of pre/post-removal scripts and implies -n and -k

      -v, --verbose
             increases the level of message output

      -p, --purge
             remove all modules that require "module" through dependencies

FILES

      /var/lib/lunar/excluded

             List of files that are excluded during a lin or lrm.

      /var/lib/lunar/protected

             Contains a list of files that will not be removed.

      /var/lib/lunar/solo

             List of solo modules.

      /var/lib/lunar/sustained

             List  of  modules  that  are  essential  to  system,  and lrm of these modules is not permitted.
             Installing and upgrading is fine.

      /var/lib/lunar/functions/*.lunar

             Contains functions used by lrm

ADVANCED USAGE

      Rolling back to a previous version of a package

             lrm --downgrade glibc 2.2.3

NOTES

      Do not include version or section when specifying a package. To get complete listing of installed soft-
      ware packages and versions type lvu installed

NOTES

      Downgrade  will  only  rollback to versions that were previously installed.  It will not download older
      versions from the Internet.
