packages type

Specifies packages to remove, install, or update.

Package names can be specified in the following formats:

• <package-name>
• <package-name>.<arch>
• <package-name>-<version>
• <package-name>-<version>-<release>.<distro>
• <package-name>-<version>-<release>.<distro>.<arch>

Note: Package names like to parted-3.4-2 will not work. You must include the distro tag. For example, parted-3.4-2.cm2 will work. (cm2 means CBL-Mariner 2.0.)
