The content of a package is installed in different locations across the system, depending on the type of installed files: binary executables usually are copied (installed) into /usr/bin, manual pages and documentation into /usr/share, and so on. Check the
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for a detailed description of the typical usage of Unix/linux system places.
To see what files (and where) have been installed from a package, you may try the command:
Code:
rpm -ql <package-name>
For example, if I would check what's installed by the package
tk:
Code:
$ rpm -ql tk

Usually the list is very long and you may be interested in finding the name and path of binary executable, so you may want to do:
Code:
$ rpm -ql tk | grep bin/
/usr/bin/wish
/usr/bin/wish8.4
If you prefer a graphical application, the package manager (whatever it be) should also provide a list of the files coming from installed packages. Hope this helps.
