[edit] Upkg tip - remove multiple packages at once
Sometimes you need to remove multiple packages from a system. Invoking upkg-remove foo for every package is a bit annoying. However it is not yet possible to remove multiple packages using wildcards in the package name paramter. You can however use the following steps to remove multiple packages using upkg in one move. Let's say, you run a 2.6.23.x kernel and would like to remove all 2.6.22.x kernel images as an example.
- cd /var/lib/upkg/packages
- find . -name '*linux-2.6-2.6.22.*.select' | xargs rm
- upkg-upgrade
The important step is to remove the .select file of the unwanted packages and then run upkg-upgrade to get the packages removed.
