## 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
```
Show information about cowsay
## 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
```
