What is the yum equivalent of dpkg -L?

Solution 1:

This functionality is provided by rpm, not yum:

rpm -ql [packagename]

From the documentation:

The general form of an rpm query command is

 rpm {-q | --query} [PACKAGE_NAME] [query-options]

Information selection options:

 -l, --list
     List files in package.

Solution 2:

rpm -ql packagename is roughly equivalent.

You should think of yum as similar to apt-get and rpm as roughly equivalent to dpkg. yum deals with packages in terms of repositories, and rpm deals with individual packages.

Ubuntu actually provides a cheat sheet on similar actions:
