The command "slapt-get --remove ${package_name}" is used to remove a specific package from a Slackware system using the "slapt-get" package management utility.
In this command, "${package_name}" should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to remove. For example, if you want to remove the "firefox" package, the command would be: "slapt-get --remove firefox".
Here's how the command works:
-
"slapt-get" is the name of the package management utility for Slackware systems. It is a command-line tool that allows you to search, install, upgrade, and remove packages.
-
"--remove" is an option or flag in the slapt-get command that specifies that you want to remove a package.
-
"${package_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to remove. You need to replace it with the actual name of the package you want to remove.
When you run the command, slapt-get will check if the specified package is installed on your system. If it is installed, it will remove the package and any associated files from your system. You may be prompted to confirm the removal before it proceeds.
Note that the slapt-get utility relies on package repositories to obtain packages. Therefore, you must have an active and properly configured package repository on your Slackware system for slapt-get to work effectively.
