APTITUDE-RUN-STATE(1) Command-line reference APTITUDE-RUN-STATE(1) NAME aptitude-run-state-bundle - unpack an aptitude state bundle and invoke aptitude on it SYNOPSIS aptitude-run-state-bundle [<options>...] <input-file> [<program> [<arguments>...]] DESCRIPTION Note This command is mostly for internal use and bug reporting in exceptional cases, it is not intended for end-users under normal circumstances. aptitude-run-state-bundle unpacks the given aptitude state bundle created by aptitude-create-state-bundle(1) to a temporary directory, invokes <program> on it with the supplied <arguments>, and removes the temporary directory afterwards. If <program> is not supplied, it defaults to aptitude(8). OPTIONS The following options may occur on the command-line before the input file. Options following the input file are presumed to be arguments to aptitude. --append-args Place the options that give the location of the state bundle at the end of the command line when invoking <program>, rather than at the beginning (the default is to place options at the beginning). --help Display a brief usage summary. --prepend-args Place the options that give the location of the state bundle at the beginning of the command line when invoking <program>, overriding any previous --append-args (the default is to place options at the beginning). --no-clean Do not remove the unpacked state directory after running aptitude. You might want to use this if, for instance, you are debugging a problem that appears when aptitude's state file is modified. When aptitude finishes running, the name of the state directory will be printed so that you can access it in the future. This option is enabled automatically by --statedir. --really-clean Delete the state directory after running aptitude, even if --no-clean or --statedir was supplied. --statedir Instead of treating the input file as a state bundle, treat it as an unpacked state bundle. For instance, you can use this to access the state directory that was created by a prior run with --no-clean. --unpack Unpack the input file to a temporary directory, but don't actually run aptitude.

Usage: /usr/bin/aptitude-run-state-bundle [options] <input-file> [<program> [arguments ...]] This command will unpack the given archive of aptitude state information, then invoke the given program with the given list of arguments, passing appropriate -o options to cause aptitude to use the contents of that archive as its global data store. Options: --append-args Place the generated arguments at the end of the command line (default). --help Display this message and exit. --no-clean Do not remove the temporary directory after invoking aptitude. --prepend-args Place the generated arguments at the beginning of the command line. --really-clean Remove the state directory, even if --statedir was passed as an argument. --statedir The <input-file> is an unpacked aptitude bundle, not a bundle file; implicitly sets --no-clean. --unpack Just unpack the <input-file>, don't run aptitude.
