Disabling and Enabling

Command name: /system package disable , /system package enable
Description
You can disable packages making them invisible for the system and later enable them, bringing the
system back to the previous state. It is useful if you don't want to uninstall a package, but just turn
off its functionality.
Notes
If a package is marked for disabling, but it is required for another (dependent) package, then the
marked package cannot be disabled. You should disable or uninstall the dependent package too. For
the list of package dependencies see the 'Software Package List; section below.
If any of the test packages will be enabled (for example wireless-test and routing-test packages, that
are included in routeros-x86.npk and routeros-rb500.npk) system automaticly will disable regular
packages that conflict with them.
Example
Suppose we need to test wireless-test package features:
[admin@MikroTik] system package> print
[admin@MikroTik] > system package pr
Flags: X - disabled
