[Andyun]

If enter a command:

Code: Select all

removepkg *

, and in this folder there are files or folders named like the package, a package is removed.
Example:

Code: Select all

root[sft]# ls
mtpaint
root[sft]# removepkg *
Removing package mtpaint-3.31-i486-2gv...
root[sft]#

It is normal?

Yes, as thenktor already pointed out it is normal. It's the way bash substitution works. The asterix '*' is replaced by bash with all the file and directory names in the current working directory each separated by a space. Hidden files are per default skipped by the asterix.
So with a ls like this:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 shador users 6 Oct  4 22:08 slapt-get

You would get the following command (after bash substituted the asterix):

Code: Select all

removepkg slapt-get

and that's a valid command which removes slapt-get. Not quite what one might expect if not used to bash, but sometimes even useful.
