How to list the files for a ubuntu package ?
 

i can install a pkg using "apt-get install some.pkg",
now how to tell how many files and where they are installed ?

looked into help, used to be a apt-file, but not anymore.

BTW, why ubuntu is so hard to use these days,
becoming harder, a simple thing takes forever to search for answer.
You know the keyword, you can find it easily.
Otherwise never.

Install apt-file, update its database:Now you can use apt-file to look at the files in a package, for example Note that apt-file will list the contents of all packages that match the search pattern, in this case it will show the packages openbox, openbox-dev and openbox-themes.

For more info on apt-file have a look at

Another option is to use dpkg with the -L switch, like this:

Note that this only works with installed packages, whereas apt-file lists the contents of installed packages as well as packages that are in the repositories but are not installed in the system.

it turned out to be that package has some kind of issue ...
