Question: Where Are Packages Located in Linux?
Contents

Where are packages stored on Linux?

They are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives.

How do I find where a package is installed?

You use the pkgchk command to check installation completeness, path name, file contents, and file attributes of a package. See pkgchk(1M) for more information on all the options. Use the pkginfo command to display information about the packages that are installed on the system.
