EXAMPLES

	 gpt-uninstall -name=foo

       removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".

	gpt-uninstall foo

       Also removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".

	 gpt-uninstall 'foo-*-*'

       A third way of typing the same uninstall.  Note the single quotes.

	 gpt-uninstall '*-noflavor-*'

       Remove all of the packages with a 'noflavor' build flavor.

	 gpt-uninstall '*-*-*'

       Remove all packages.  Note that files generated by gpt-postinstall will not be removed

BUGS

       Currently the flavor check that gpt-uninstall uses only works if the flavor is installed by gpt-build.  And so for example:

	gpt-uninstall foo-gcc32-*

       will not work.  The work around is to uninstall the packages individually using something like:

	gpt-uninstall -name=foo -flavor=gcc32 -pkgtype=pgm

       Or use a wild card for the flavor to uninstall all flavors of the package.

	gpt-uninstall foo-*-*
