NAME

       pkglab - explore package repositories

SYNOPSIS

       pkglab [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Pkglab  is  an  interactive,  console-based  environment to explore package repositories of package-based
       software distributions.

       A pkglab session typically starts by loading a  package  repository  in  one  of  the  different  formats
       understood  pkglab.  Then, pkglab can check given package combinations for co-installability according to
       inter-package relationships.

OPTIONS

       -architecture architecture
              Default architecture to use when accessing packages from a  package  repository.  By  default  the
              current host architecture is used.

       -history filename
              Use the file filename to load and save command-line history. Defaults to $HOME/.pkglab-history.

       -script filename
              Execute commands from the file filename.

       -merge waterway
              Start by merging the archive found in waterway.

       -help, --help
              Display basic help information.

SEE ALSO

       Pkglab can read package repositories in the dose format produced by ceve(1).

       The  non-interactive  tools  edos-debcheck(1)  and  rpm-debcheck(1)  use the same algorithm as pkglab for
       checking installability of packages.
