Hello everyone
Tell me, who knows - how you can see the system contents of the package, namely pre / post scripts, dependencies, and so on. The package is not in the repositories (it was collected by a former colleague). It needs to be rebuilt.
How to look at the installation files in Google, too, has not yet been found. If anyone knows please tell me
thanks

If the package is installed - then ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.*
If there is a .deb file on the disk itself, then:
ar -x file.deb
tar -xvf control.tar.gz
tar -xvf data.tar. gz
