Can you tell me where do packages installed with apt-get or synaptic package manager get stored in? I use Ubuntu9.10

I think usually it's /usr/bin

At least that's where I found something I was looking for just now.

could be in:

/usr
/lib
/sbin

I know this may sound confusing but maybe a file structure visual can help you. Look at 3.1 and 3.2

dpkg -L <package name> will show you where each file in a package is installed. You can see the same thing in Synaptic by clicking Status, Installed, right-click on a package, Properties, Installed Files.
