Comment (by bonefish):

 Regarding the former: `echo y | uninstall bepdf` should do that already.
 However there's always the chance that installing/uninstalling packages
 leads to conflicts, for which the user would need to choose a solution.

 Regarding the latter, the search command should actually make piping
 anything through grep unnecessary. I also thought that wildcard support
 was enabled for it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. `pkgman search
 ""` lists all packages, though I guess an explicit option would be more
 intuitive. At any rate, the search command needs a lot more love (well,
 the others do, too).
