This command is mostly for internal use and bug reporting in exceptional cases, it is not intended for end\-users under normal circumstances\&.
.sp .5v

\fBaptitude\-run\-state\-bundle\fR
unpacks the given aptitude state bundle created by
\fBaptitude-create-state-bundle\fR(1)
to a temporary directory, invokes
<\fIprogram\fR>
on it with the supplied
<\fIarguments\fR>, and removes the temporary directory afterwards\&. If
<\fIprogram\fR>
is not supplied, it defaults to
\fBaptitude\fR(8)\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
The following options may occur on the command\-line before the input file\&. Options following the input file are presumed to be arguments to
\fBaptitude\fR\&.
.PP
\fB\-\-append\-args\fR
.RS 4
Place the options that give the location of the state bundle at the end of the command line when invoking
<\fIprogram\fR>, rather than at the beginning (the default is to place options at the beginning)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-help\fR
.RS 4
Display a brief usage summary\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-prepend\-args\fR
.RS 4
Place the options that give the location of the state bundle at the beginning of the command line when invoking
<\fIprogram\fR>, overriding any previous
\fB\-\-append\-args\fR
(the default is to place options at the beginning)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-no\-clean\fR
.RS 4
Do not remove the unpacked state directory after running
\fBaptitude\fR\&. You might want to use this if, for instance, you are debugging a problem that appears when
\fBaptitude\fR\*(Aqs state file is modified\&. When
\fBaptitude\fR
finishes running, the name of the state directory will be printed so that you can access it in the future\&.
.sp
This option is enabled automatically by
\fB\-\-statedir\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-really\-clean\fR
.RS 4
Delete the state directory after running
\fBaptitude\fR, even if
\fB\-\-no\-clean\fR
or
\fB\-\-statedir\fR
was supplied\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-statedir\fR
.RS 4
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
\fB\-\-no\-clean\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-unpack\fR
.RS 4
Unpack the input file to a temporary directory, but don\*(Aqt actually run
\fBaptitude\fR\&.
