# installcheck(1)

find out which packages cannot be installed

## NAME

installcheck - find out which packages cannot be installed

## SYNOPSIS

**installcheck** *ARCH* *REPO1* *REPO2*... **--nocheck** *NREPO1* *NREPO2*...

## DESCRIPTION

The installcheck tool checks if all packages in *REPO1*...*REPON* are installable. A package is installable if there is a set of packages from the repositories that satisfies its dependencies. The repositories after the **--nocheck** option are only used for dependency resolving, but the tool does not check if the packages in them are installable.

A Repository can be a solv file, a rpmmd **primary.xml.gz** file, a SUSE **packages** or **packages.gz** file, or a Debian **Packages** or **Packages.gz** file.
