bpkg-pkg-purge - Man Page

bpkg pkg-purge [options] pkg

The pkg-purge command removes the package directory and archive from the filesystem and removes the package from the configuration.  Only packages in the fetched and unpacked state (bpkg-pkg-status(1)) can be purged plus broken packages if the --force|-f option is specified (see the option's description for details on purging broken packages). If the --keep|-k option is specified, then the package archive is not removed (see the option's description for details on this mode).

--keep|-k

Keep the package archive. Note that in this mode the package is still retained in the configuration's database in the fetched state.

--force|-f

Purge a broken package. In this mode bpkg will verify that the package directory and archive no longer exist and then remove the package from the configuration.

--directory|-d dir

Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current working directory.
