How do I list the contents of a package that I just installed? This command:
dpkg --contents filename.deb
requires that I know where the .deb file is. I don't feel like I need to know that, and if I do, please tell me where they go when I do apt-get install.

Use Synaptic Package Manager. Install it with
Then go to
Installed
section, select a package then right-click to show its properties.If you want to do it in Terminal, there is no need for Synaptic:
Package name is without
.deb
extension or version information (e.g.vlc
,evince
).
