How to see where package is installed in ubuntu?

On linux we use application installer like synaptic package manager or adept etc. We get no idea where in directories those applications are installed. You can check this using dpkg utility.

If you want to check where all the files of the package are located then use following command:

dpkg -L

For example, if package files for gparted to be found out then command will be :

dpkg –L gparted

This will list the files/folders where gparted and it’s dependent configuration files are listed.
