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.
