#

#   script is your life preserver.
#
# Dependencies required: expac: pacman -Sy expac 
# Shell required:  /bin/bash
#
# Usage Example:
#
#     pacrevert.sh 50
#     Will remove the last 50 installed packages
#
# WARNING: This command ignores dependencies.  If you don't know what the hell you're doing, I'd advise not
#          using this script at all!  Be a good sysadmin and accept responsibility for your own fuckups!  :-)
