repair

Clean up packages in the local package database that were left by incomplete installs, uninstalls, or updates.

Installed packages are not changed by repair. repair only performs cleanup; it does not resume an interrupted install or update.

Usage

foton repair [OPTIONS] [<PACKAGE>...]

Arguments

<PACKAGE>

Package names, optionally with an exact version as <package-name>@<version>.

If not specified, every package that needs cleanup will be cleaned up.

Options

--no-confirm

Skip interactive confirmation prompts

--warnings-as-errors

Treat warnings as errors, causing the command to fail if any warning is emitted

Examples

foton repair
foton repair <package-name>
foton repair <package-name>@<version>

Notes

  • Installed packages are not changed by repair.
  • If a selected package is already in a consistent state, foton reports that there is nothing to do.
  • If cleanup cannot be completed, the package may remain in the local package database so that you can retry repair later.
