Note that you are looking at a source package. Sometimes, the file gets just "copied over" to somewhere else, as in your current case. Source and destination paths... well. Look into the package's Makefiles and into the debian subdir. Long story :-) Sometimes, though, it's a .c file, which gets trampled on by a stampede of compilers and linkers. Bits of its soul end up scattered in various places of /usr/bin and/or /usr/lib. Even the part with the package name is an oversimplification. Many times, one source package gives birth to several binary packages (e.g. a set of libraries usable by other packages plus a set of basic binary utilities which go with those libraries). But if you keep those caveats in mind, the above is a good start. Cheers - t
