tlmgr-remove: Simulate uninstalling a package without making any changes.
$ tlmgr remove --dry-run ${package}
try on your machine
The command "tlmgr remove --dry-run ${package}" is used to simulate the removal of a TeX Live package without actually removing it.
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "tlmgr" is the command-line tool for managing TeX Live packages.
- "remove" is the action performed by tlmgr to remove a package.
- "--dry-run" is an option that simulates the action without actually making any changes. It shows you what would happen if you were to perform the command for real.
- "${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to remove. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to simulate removing.
By running this command with the specific package name, you can see the output of what would happen if you were to actually remove the package, including any dependencies that would also be removed. This can be useful to double-check the consequences before performing the actual package removal.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
