How to Remove a Package

  1. Log in to the system as superuser.

  2. Remove an installed package.


    # pkgrm pkg-abbrev ...

    pkg-abbrev

    Is the name of one or more packages (separated by spaces). If omitted, pkgrm removes all available packages.

  3. Verify that the package has successfully been removed, use the pkginfo command.


    $ pkginfo | egrep pkg-abbrev
    

    If pkg-abbrev is installed, the pkginfo command returns a line of information about it. Otherwise, pkginfo returns the system prompt.
