How to query installed packages?

[Dhi]

All,

What command line would I use to query installed pacakges for similar information as presented in synaptic? For instance, what files were installed by a particular package and where?

Thanks,

You might have to do a little searching through man pages to get exactly what you want. Have a look at these two:

> man apt-cache
> man dpkg
