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.
