aptitude-run-state-bundle [options...] input-file [ program [arguments...]]

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).
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).
--helpDisplay 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-cleanDo 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.
--unpackUnpack the input file to a temporary directory, but don't actually run aptitude.
