It can be used to +list available packages in the various urpmi media, or to list the full +dependencies of a package, or to list the packages that will be installed +if you start urpmi. The output of urpmq has the following format, adjusted +according to the command-line options that were used: + + [group/]package_name[-version][-release][.arch] + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over + +=item B<--help> + +Prints a help message and exit (this is the same as B<-h> or B<-?>). + +=item B<--list> + +List available packages. + +=item B<--list-media> [I<type>] + +List available media. You can optionally add a type selector: B<all> to +list all media (the default), B<update> to list the update media, or +B<active> to list only active media. + +=item B<--list-url> + +List available media and their URLs. + +=item B<--list-nodes> + +List available nodes for parallel installation (when using B<--parallel>). + +=item B<--list-aliases> + +List available parallel aliases. + +=item B<--update> + +Use only update media. This means that urpmq will search and resolve +dependencies only in media marked as containing updates (e.g. which have +been created with C<urpmi.addmedia --update>). + +=item B<--media> I<media1,...,mediaN> + +Select specific media to be used, instead of defaulting +to all available media (or all update media if B<--update> is used). +No rpm will be found in other media. + +=item B<--excludemedia> I<media1,...,mediaN> + +Do not use the specified media. + +=item B<--searchmedia> I<media> + +Use only the specified media to search for packages that are specified on +the command-line, or which are found when using B<--auto-select>. +Dependencies of those packages can still be found in other media. + +=item B<--sortmedia> I<media1,...,mediaN> + +Sort the specified media. Substrings may be used to simplify grouping. +This way, C<media1> will be taken into account first, then C<media2>, and +so on. Media which aren't listed are taken into account after the others. + +=item B<--synthesis> I<file> + +Use the specified synthesis file instead of the urpmi database for +searching packages and resolving dependencies. + +=item B<--auto-select> + +Select all packages that can be upgraded, according to already installed +packages and packages listed in various registered media. + +=item B<--auto-orphans> + +List orphans. + +=item B<--not-available> + +List packages that are not available on any media. This can help to find +packages that are still installed but that are now obsolete because they +have been removed from the current version of Mageia Linux. + +=item B<--no-suggests> + +With this option, urpmq will not require "suggested" packages. +By default, urpmq will require (newly) suggested packages. + +=item B<--allow-suggests> + +With this option, urpmi will install "suggested" packages. +This is useful if you have C<no-suggests> in urpmi.cfg. + +=item B<--keep> + +When some dependencies cannot be satisfied, +change the selection of packages to try to keep existing packages instead +of removing them. This behaviour generally rejects the upgrade of packages +given on command line (or when using B<--auto-select>) when a dependency error +occurs. + +=item B<--fuzzy> + +Disable fast search on exact package name; i.e. it will propose +all packages matching the name partially, even if one of them matches exactly +the specified name (this is the same as B<-y>). + +=item B<--src> I<name> + +Search a source package +matching I<name> and it will select all dependencies by default. + +=item B<--sources> + +Prints source URLs (or file names) of all selected +packages. (Can be used by the superuser only.) + +=item B<--force> + +Continue when requesting packages that are not available. + +=item B<--ignorearch> + +Allow to search packages whose architecture isn't compatible with the +architecture of the host. + +=item B<--parallel> I<alias> + +Activate distributed execution of urpmi to other machines (it is mandatory +that urpmi is installed but it is not necessary to have media defined on +any machines). I<alias> defines which extension module to use by urpmi +(currently urpmi-parallel-ka-run or urpmi-parallel-ssh) and which +machines should be updated, this alias is defined in the file +F</etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg> as described below. + +=item B<--root> I<directory> + +Use the file system tree rooted for rpm install. All operations and +scripts will run after chroot(2). The rpm database in the rooted tree +will be used but urpmi configuration comes from normal system. + +=item B<--urpmi-root> I<directory> + +Use the file system tree rooted for urpmi database and rpm install. Contrary +to B<--root>, the urpmi configuration comes from the rooted tree. + +=item B<--wget> + +Use wget for downloading distant files. By default curl +is used if available, or wget instead. + +=item B<--curl> + +Use curl for downloading distant files. By default curl is used if +available, or wget instead. + +=item B<--curl-options> I<'options'> + +=item B<--rsync-options> I<'options'> + +=item B<--wget-options> I<'options'> + +Specify additional command-line options to be passed to curl, rsync or +wget when retrieving files. If several options are to be passed, separate +them with spaces and enclose them in quotes. + +Note that the rsync options will also be used for ssh media. + +=item B<--proxy> I<proxyhost[:port|1080]> + +Use specified HTTP proxy. + +=item B<--proxy-user> I<user:password> + +Use specified user and password to use for proxy authentication. +Specifying B<--proxy-user=ask> will cause urpmq to prompt for a username +and a password. + +=item B<--use-distrib> I<directory> + +Configure urpmq on the fly from a distribution tree. + +=item B<--env> I<directory> + +Use a different environment directly from a bug report to replay a bug. +The argument is the same argument given to B<--bug> option. + +=item B<--skip> I<pattern,...> + +You can specify a list of packages which installation should be skipped. +You can also include patterns between //, just like in +F</etc/urpmi/skip.list> (see urpmi.files(5)). + +=item B<--prefer> I<pattern,...> + +You can specify a list of packages which installation should be preferred +(especially useful with B<--auto>). +You can also include patterns between //, just like in +F</etc/urpmi/prefer.list> (see urpmi.files(5)). + +=item B<--wait-lock> + +If the urpmi or rpm db is busy, wait until it is available + +=item B<--changelog> + +Prints the package changelog. + +=item B<--conflicts> + +Prints the package conflicts. + +=item B<--obsoletes> + +Prints the package obsoletes. + +=item B<--provides> + +Prints the package provides. + +=item B<--requires> + +Prints the package requires. + +=item B<--suggests> + +Prints the package suggests. + +=item B<--sourcerpm> + +Prints the sourcerpm of the package + +=item B<--summary> + +Prints concise information about the package. + +=item B<--verbose> + +Activate verbose mode. + +=item B<-v> + +This is the same as B<--verbose>. + +=item B<-d> + +This is the same as B<--requires-recursive>. + +=item B<-u> + +Deselect packages if a better version is already installed. + +=item B<-m> + +Equivalent to B<-du>. + +=item B<-a> + +Select all matches on command line; that's useful when one gives an +incomplete package name and when using B<-f> or B<-r>. + +=item B<-c> + +If maximal closure is used, assume that a package listed may have wrong or +not up-to-date dependencies.
