How Do I Locate Packages on Disk?

Where the packages live should be the most boring question that you can possibly ask of a package manager. It should be rote and simple and dumb, because doing anything else makes things really confusing. The last component would be the dependencies themselves. Where does the dependency manager put them after it grabs them off the inter net? Yes. So, i mean, again, of course, this, this varies significantly from package, from package manager to package manager. And the question there is really id to the behaviour of the so-called 'packages' given their intended use.
