\&\fBpacrepairdb\fR expects all of the packages being repaired to be cached. Cached
packages that match the name and version of an installed package are assumed to
be the same package. No attempt is made to validate cached packages. If
a cache contains a package that does not match the installed package, but
nonetheless has the same name and version, \fBpacrepairdb\fR will blindly install
it, worsening any database problems.
.PP
\&\fBpacrepairdb\fR does not check for leftover orphaned files. It is the user's
responsibility locate and handle orphaned files.
.PP
\&\fBpacrepairdb\fR determines whether or not to read package names from \fIstdin\fR
based on a naive check using \fBisatty\fR\|(3). If \fBpacrepairdb\fR is called in an
environment, such as a shell function or script being used in a pipe, where
\&\fIstdin\fR is not connected to a terminal but does not contain package names to
repair, \fBpacrepairdb\fR should be called with \fIstdin\fR closed. For
POSIX-compatible shells, this can be done with \f(CW\*(C`<&\-\*(C'\fR.
