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.
