xbps: Remove a package, leaving all of its dependencies installed.
$ xbps-remove ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command "xbps-remove ${package_name}" is used to remove a specific package from a system that uses the XBPS (X Binary Package System) package manager.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "xbps-remove": This is the command itself, which is used to remove packages using XBPS.

  • "${package_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name or identifier of the package you want to remove. You should replace "${package_name}" with the name of the package you want to remove. For example, if you want to remove a package called "example-package", the command will become "xbps-remove example-package".

By running this command, the specified package will be uninstalled from your system, along with any related dependencies or configuration files. It should be noted that this command typically requires root or administrator privileges to execute successfully, so you may need to prefix it with "sudo" or run it as the root user.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
