.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2000-12-29 09:03:38 +00:00
|
|
|
command is used to update an already installed package.
|
|
|
|
|
It takes care
|
2000-12-28 19:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
of propagating dependencies from the replaced versions to the newly
|
2000-12-29 09:03:38 +00:00
|
|
|
installed version.
|
|
|
|
|
It would normally be used to replace all currently
|
|
|
|
|
installed versions of a package with a more current version.
|
|
|
|
|
It can
|
2000-12-28 19:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
also be used to revert a package to an older version by specifying the
|
|
|
|
|
version to be replaced with the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
|
|
|
option.

The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
|
|
|
Print the actions to be performed but don't actually do them.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fl r Ar oldpkg
|
2000-12-29 09:03:38 +00:00
|
|
|
Replace the specified version of the package.
|
|
|
|
|
Normally
|
2000-12-28 19:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
will replace all installed versions of a package with the new version.
|
|
|
|
|
This isn't always desirable since for some packages it is expected
|
|
|
|
|
that multiple versions will be installed at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
This option allows a specific version to be replaced.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
|
|
|
Enable verbose output.
