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) fol‐
lowed 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, apti‐
tude, 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 installed.
