## Search
|
|
|
|
Look for cowsay in the repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query --repository --search cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Short version:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -Rs cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Search with regex:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query --regex -Rs 'cow(s)?\w'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List what's required for cowsay
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -x cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
What packages are orphaned (i.e. installed as a dependency for another package, which has since been removed)?
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -O
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Show cowsay's dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -x cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This shows `perl`.
|
|
To see what else depends on perl:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -X perl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List all manually installed software.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -m
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Install cowsay
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-install cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Upgrade current packages.
|
|
`-R` looks at repositories, `-s` makes a sloppy search (for rough matches).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-install -Suv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remove/ Uninstall
|
|
|
|
Remove cowsay
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-remove cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...and all dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-remove -R cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remove all orphaned dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-remove -o
|
|
```
|

## Fixes
|
|
|
|
Reinstall cowsay
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-install -f cowsay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Look for broken packages.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-pkgdb -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And if you've found any, you might reconfigure all packages forcefully:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-reconfigure -af
|
|
```
|
