pacman-deptest: Check if the installed package satisfies the given minimum version.
$ pacman --deptest "${bash>=5}"
try on your machine
The command pacman --deptest "${bash>=5}"
is using the pacman
package manager in Arch Linux to check if the bash
package with a version greater than or equal to 5 is installed.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
pacman
: It is the command-line package manager for Arch Linux.--deptest
: This flag is used to perform a dependency test rather than actually installing or upgrading any packages."${bash>=5}"
: This is a conditional expression used to specify the package name and version. In this case, it checks if the packagebash
is installed with a version greater than or equal to 5. The expression"${bash>=5}"
evaluates tobash>=5
which is passed as an argument topacman
for dependency testing.
So, the command is basically checking if the bash
package with a version greater than or equal to 5 is installed in the system without making any changes to the package installation.
