NAME
     pkgrm - removes a package from the system

SYNOPSIS
     pkgrm [-n] [-a admin] [pkginst1 [pkginst2[ ...]]]  pkgrm  -s
     spool [pkginst]

DESCRIPTION
     pkgrm  will  remove  a  previously  installed  or  partially
     installed  package  from  the  system.   A  check is made to
     determine if any other packages  depend  on  the  one  being
     removed.  The action taken if a dependency exists is defined
     in the admin file.

     The default state for the command is  in  interactive  mode,
     meaning  that prompt messages are given during processing to
     allow the administrator to confirm the actions being  taken.
     Non-interactive mode can be requested with the -n option.

     The -s option can be used  to  specify  the  directory  from
     which spooled packages should be removed.

     The options and arguments for this command are:

     -n           Non-interactive mode.  If there is a  need  for
                  interaction,  the  command  will  exit.  Use of
                  this option requires that at least one  package
                  instance  be  named upon invocation of the com-
                  mand.

     -a           Defines an  installation  administration  file,
                  admin, to be used in place of the default admin
                  file.

     -s           Removes  the  specified  package(s)  from   the
                  directory "spool."

     pkginst      Specifies the package to be removed.  The  for-
                  mat  pkg_abbrev.*   can  be  used to remove all
                  instances of a package.
