How do I find the files installed by a particular package? Where is the .deb file to look at?
I think there is an existing answer to your question (which isn’t How to get information about deb package archive?), but I can’t find it.
To list the contents of an installed package, use dpkg -L
:
dpkg -L pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
If you want to list the contents of a package before installing it, install apt-file
, then run apt update
, and
apt-file list pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
will list the contents of the package without downloading it or installing it.
You can also view the contents of a package from its web page; look for “list of files” links at the bottom of the page.
