What is the easiest way to find and view contents of Debian (*.deb)
packages? Earlier, I could seem to find many packages in
/var/cache/apt/archives but I think that is temperary because I don't
see all my installed packages in there. I do realize that 'dpkg -c'
seems to work well at showing me the files contained inside the
package. I just don't seem to know of a permenant resting place for
these guys if there even exists such a place. When I did a locate of
*.deb, I couldn't find anything with orca in it for example.
With my slackware box, there was a /var/log/packages where I could
list the contents of any package that was installed. Actually these
were listings; maybe listings are available some place.
I'm just trying to verify which packages would need to be upgraded in
Orca if I go with experimental. I know of gnome-orca but the
dependency list didn't mention at-spi, atk, or any of that. Just
trying to cover my bases.
