  This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here
  first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there
  are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the
  slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's
  another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update
  is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
  /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
  considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
  space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
  (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
  and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
  know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
  The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs
  that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log,
  but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be
  considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or
  symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them
  as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the
  old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old
  locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this
  moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new
  installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer
  and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg
  is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float
  that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid
  more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users.
  Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even
  so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still
  work through the compatibility symlinks.

+.TH REMOVEPKG 8 "23 Nov 2001" "Slackware Version 8.1.0"
+.SH NAME
+removepkg \- remove Slackware packages.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B removepkg
+.BI packagename
+.LP
+[
+.B ROOT=/mnt
+]
+.B removepkg
+[
+.B \--copy
+]
+[
+.B \--keep
+]
+[
+.B \--preserve
+]
+[
+.B \--terse
+]
+[
+.B \--warn
+]
+.BI packagename
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B removepkg
+removes a previously installed Slackware package, while writing a progress
+report to the standard output.  A package may be specified either by the
+full package name (as you'd see listed in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/), or by the
+base package name.  For example, the package foo-1.0-i586-1.txz may be removed
+with any of the following commands:
+
+removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1.txz (also recognized: .tgz, .tbz, .tlz)
+
+removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1
+
+removepkg foo.txz
+
+removepkg foo
+
+When deleting files,
+.B removepkg
+will analyze the contents of the other packages installed on your system, and
+will only delete the files that are unique to the package being removed. 
+Similarly, the installation scripts for all the other packages will be 
+considered when deciding whether or not to delete symbolic links from the
+package.
+.LP
+Removing a package (as well as installing one) can be a dangerous undertaking.
+For this reason, there is the
+.B \-warn
+option available. When you use this,
+.B removepkg
+will not actually remove any files or links, but will output a detailed report
+of what it would do if you actually did remove the package. It's suggested that
+you do this (and maybe pipe the output to 
+.B less
+) before removing packages to make sure you've backed up anything that might
+be important.
+.LP
+When removing a package, it's original file index will be moved from 
+/var/lib/pkgtools/packages to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_packages. Likewise, its installation
+script will be moved from /var/lib/pkgtools/scripts to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_scripts.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \--copy packagename
+Construct a copy of the package under /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename,
+but don't remove it.  (same effect as \-warn \-preserve)
+.TP
+.B \--keep
+Save the intermediate files created by removepkg (delete_list,
+required_files, uniq_list, del_link_list, required_links,
+required_list).  Mostly useful for debugging purposes.
+.TP
+.B \--preserve packagename
+If specified, the complete package subtree is reconstructed in
+/var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename.
+.TP
+.B \--terse
+Remove the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
+.TP
+.B \--warn packagename
+Generate a report to the standard output about which files and directories
+would be removed, but does not actually remove the package.
+.SH " "
+It's possible to remove a package from a filesystem
+other than / by supplying
+.B removepkg
+with a
+.B ROOT
+environment variable:
+.TP
+.B ROOT=/mnt removepkg package
