NAME
dpkg-unhold - mark held packages for installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-unhold [PACKAGE...]
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-unhold marks package(s) to be installed.
It achieves this by running `dpkg --set-selections' and piping in the
package name(s) followed by `install'.
NOTE: This program does not install, remove, purge any package. It ONLY
sets the status of the package. Any actual removal or purging is done
the next time dselect, apt-get, aptitude, etc are run.
BUGS
The name is little bit of a misnomer in that it marks the package for
installation. This effectively "unholds" the package if it is held, but
will cause dselect/apt/etc to install it if it wasn't already in-
stalled.
