How do I list files installed by a package from the AUR?
I'm using arch-linux and I have installed a package from the aur. I want to know what changes it has made to my computer (specifically which files it has installed). Is this information available, and if so, what command do I use to get the information?
I've tried pacman -F...
with various options but this seems to only work with packages from the repositories. I'm happy use a tool like yaourt
or aura
if that is necessary.
The same way as you'd list files installed by a package from anywhere else:
pacman -Ql package_name
The important difference:
-S, -F
access pacman's database of available packages (which includes packages you don't have, but strictly excludes AUR).-Q
access pacman's database of local packages (which includes everything you currently have installed from any source, but doesn't know anything about packages you don't have).
