Other Help Topics :: looking inside a *.deb package?



I am trying to backup the changes that wmsun_1.03-15_i386.deb makes to my DSL but i seem to mis something.,

I backup (filetool.lst):

/usr/bin/wmsun
/usr/share/man/man1/wmsun.1.gz

I <dpkg -i wmsun_1.03-15_i386.deb> and then i start it up with the command: wmsun... Works fine but when i back it up and reboot, it doesn't work...

Is is possible to look in a *.deb package to see what and where it is doing things? (like viewing inside a *.dsl)

dpkg -L package_name
Got it:

dpkg --contents wmsun.deb
