[APTITUDE-RUN-STATE(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/APTITUDE-RUN-STATE/1/markdown)                  Command-line reference                  [APTITUDE-RUN-STATE(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/APTITUDE-RUN-STATE/1/markdown)



## NAME
       aptitude-run-state-bundle - unpack an aptitude state bundle and invoke aptitude on it

## SYNOPSIS
       **aptitude-run-state-bundle** [<_options_>...] <_input-file_> [<_program_> [<_arguments_>...]]

## DESCRIPTION
           **Note**
           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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/state-bundle/1/markdown) 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/aptitude/8/markdown).

## OPTIONS
       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).

### --help
           Display 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-clean
           Do 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**.

### --unpack
           Unpack the input file to a temporary directory, but don't actually run **aptitude**.
