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.
