xbps-pkgdb — XBPS
utility to report/fix issues and modify the package database
(pkgdb)
xbps-pkgdb |
[OPTIONS] [PKGNAME...] |
The xbps-pkgdb utility can check/fix
issues and modify the package database (pkgdb). It's able to check for
missing dependencies, modified files and symlinks, alternatives and more
errors that have been fixed in newer versions of xbps. A mode to update the
format to the latest version is also available. This is the list of things
that xbps-pkgdb currently does:
- METADATA
CHECK
- Checks that package metadata files have not been modified by comparing
original hash that is recorded when package is installed against current
one.
- FILES CHECK
- Checks that all files belonging to a package have not been modified and
are not missing. For regular files, its modification time and the SHA256
hash are compared and checked if they differ. For symbolic links the
target file is checked that it has not been modified.
- DEPENDENCIES
CHECK
- Checks that all required dependencies for a package are resolved.
- ALTERNATIVES
CHECK
- Checks that all alternatives symlinks for set alternatives groups are
correct.
- OBSOLETE
METADATA CHECK
- Checks that the package database does not contain obsolete data from
previous XBPS versions and removes them if found.
- FORMAT
CONVERSION
- Updates the pkgdb format to the latest version.
-a,
--all- Process all registered packages, regardless of its state.
-C,
--config dir- Specifies a path to the XBPS configuration directory. If the first
character is not '/' then it's a relative path of
rootdir.
-d,
--debug- Enables extra debugging shown to stderr.
-h,
--help- Show the help message.
-m,
--mode
auto|manual|hold|unhold|repolock|repounlock-
- auto,
manual
- auto
marks each PKGNAME as
automatic - as if it was installed implicitly as a
dependency of another package. manual
marks each PKGNAME as if
it was installed explicitly as an operand to
xbps-install(1).
automatic packages are considered for removal by
xbps-remove
--remove-orphans; see also
--list-manual-pkgs,
--list-orphans in
xbps-query(1).
- hold,
unhold
- Set or unset the hold mode for each
PKGNAME.
xbps-install
-u does not update packages on
hold; see also
--list-hold-pkgs in
xbps-query(1).
- repolock,
repounlock
- Set or unset the repolock mode for each
PKGNAME. A package in repolock
mode will only accept updates that are available in the same
repository that was used for installing. See also
--list-repolock-pkgs in
xbps-query(1).
-r,
--rootdir dir- Specifies a full path for the target root directory.
-u,
--update- Updates the pkgdb format to the latest version making the necessary
conversions automatically. Usually this is needed only in rare
circumstances.
-v,
--verbose- Enables verbose messages.
-V,
--version- Show the version information.

Probably, but I try to make this not happen. Use it under your own
responsibility and enjoy your life.
