how do I find where apt-get installs files belonging to a package

I installed a package with apt-get, and now I need to locate where these files have been placed.

I tried:

sudo apt-cache show <package>

and,

sudo find / -name <package>

but it did not reveal anything useful.

Whats a good command or method to find the files belonging to a specific package I installed? I'm using Ubuntu 10.x.


dpkg -L package_name lists all files belonging to a package package_name


Incidentally, Debian also provides apt-file which can do the same as dpkg -L for remote files.
