pmutils

pmutils is a collection of command-line utilities designed to assist with various package management tasks, primarily within Debian-based Linux distributions. Its core functionality revolves around simplifying and automating common operations related to package installation, removal, configuration, and querying.

One of the primary uses of pmutils is to facilitate the unattended installation and removal of packages. This can be particularly useful in scripting scenarios where automated system setup or maintenance is required. The tools within pmutils often provide options for non-interactive operation, allowing users to bypass prompts and confirmations that would normally halt a script.

Beyond basic package manipulation, pmutils can also help in managing package configurations. This might involve tasks such as reconfiguring installed packages that have updated configuration files or resetting specific package configurations to their default states. The utilities aim to abstract away some of the complexities of the underlying package management system, offering a more streamlined interface.

Furthermore, pmutils offers capabilities for querying package information. This can include checking the status of installed packages, retrieving details about available versions, or identifying dependencies. By providing a unified interface for these operations, pmutils seeks to enhance the efficiency of system administrators and developers working with Debian-style package management. The specific commands and options available within pmutils can vary depending on the version and its integration with the broader package management ecosystem.
