Finding where ubuntu installs programs

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Whenever you install something in Ubuntu it unpacks a .deb file and saves it in the right location. The problem is that I never know the contents of a given package and where each file will end up on my machine.
The answer is dpkg -L
.
So for instance, I just did:

apt-get install ktouch

and then used

dpkg -L [...]

ok
