Remove a package forcibly in HPUX
In HPUX, I want remove a package forcibly on which some other packages are depended.

On Linux following command is used to remove a package forcibly.
Code:
rpm -e package_name --nodeps

I want the samething in HPUX through swremove command.

swremove will remove software. It can run in a TUI or GUI if you just run swremove by itself or on the command line if you supply all of the options, check the man page for options.

I always find it easiest to use the TUI myself. When you start it, go into the drop down box under options and change the options. There you can unselect both "Enforce dependency analysis errors in agent" and "Enforce script failures". I think that will do the trick.

Just curious, what are you trying to remove that you must force it?
