Welcome to the amazing technology that is a package manager. :-) If we
are using RPM (or whatever the RPM/deb hybrid is), we can query the
package database to get a listing of all the files in the package.
'rpm -ql super-database' would work on a RPM-based system, and would
output a file listing.
Enjoy,
