APT-MARK(8)                                  APT                                 APT-MARK(8)

NAME
       apt-mark - show, set and unset various settings for a package

SYNOPSIS
       apt-mark {-f=filename | {auto | manual} pkg...  | {showauto | showmanual} [pkg...] }
                | {-v | --version} | {-h | --help}

       apt-mark {hold | unhold | install | remove | purge} pkg...  |
                {showhold | showinstall | showremove | showpurge} [pkg...]

DESCRIPTION
       apt-mark can be used as a unified front-end to set various settings for a package,
       such as marking a package as being automatically/manually installed or changing dpkg
       selections such as hold, install, deinstall and purge which are respected e.g. by
       apt-get dselect-upgrade or aptitude.

AUTOMATICALLY AND MANUALLY INSTALLED PACKAGES
       When you request that a package is installed, and as a result other packages are
       installed to satisfy its dependencies, the dependencies are marked as being
       automatically installed, while the package you installed explicitly is marked as
       manually installed. Once an automatically installed package is no longer depended on
       by any manually installed package it is considered no longer needed and e.g.  apt-get
       or aptitude will at least suggest removing them.

       auto
           auto is used to mark a package as being automatically installed, which will cause
           the package to be removed when no more manually installed packages depend on this
           package.

       manual
           manual is used to mark a package as being manually installed, which will prevent
           the package from being automatically removed if no other packages depend on it.

       minimize-manual
           minimize-manual is used to mark (transitive) dependencies of metapackages as
           automatically installed. This can be used after an installation for example, to
           minimize the number of manually installed packages; or continuously on systems
           managed by system configuration metapackages.

       showauto
           showauto is used to print a list of automatically installed packages with each
           package on a new line. All automatically installed packages will be listed if no
           package is given. If packages are given only those which are automatically
           installed will be shown.

       showmanual
           showmanual can be used in the same way as showauto except that it will print a
           list of manually installed packages instead.

   Options
       -f=filename, --file=filename
           Read/Write package stats from the filename given with the parameter filename
           instead of from the default location, which is extended_status in the directory
           defined by the Configuration Item: Dir::State.

PREVENT CHANGES FOR A PACKAGE
       hold
           hold is used to mark a package as held back, which will prevent the package from
           being automatically installed, upgraded or removed.

       unhold
           unhold is used to cancel a previously set hold on a package to allow all actions
           again.

       showhold
           showhold is used to print a list of packages on hold in the same way as for the
           other show commands.

SCHEDULE PACKAGES FOR INSTALL, REMOVE AND PURGE
       Some front-ends like apt-get dselect-upgrade can be used to apply previously
       scheduled changes to the install state of packages. Such changes can be scheduled
       with the install, remove (also known as deinstall) and purge commands. Packages with
       a specific selection can be displayed with showinstall, showremove and showpurge
       respectively. More information about these so called dpkg selections can be found in
       dpkg(1).

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
           Show a short usage summary.

       -v, --version
           Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
           Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read
           the default configuration file and then this configuration file. If configuration
           settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify
           a file with the APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax
           information.

       -o, --option
           Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The
           syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar.  -o and --option can be used multiple times to set
           different options.

FILES
       /var/lib/apt/extended_states
           Status list of auto-installed packages. Configuration Item:
           Dir::State::extended_states.
