where are the files

[mss]

Hi everyone,
I am having some problems with apt and apache. I am trying to install a mod for apache that requires apache2 src files. So I used apt-get and installed apache2-src. the problem is I have no idea where they are.

Where do they usually get put.

Another question I have is when you use apt-get --purge remove package it is suppose to (from my understanding) completely uninstall the package. But for some reason after running this command, there are still files belonging to this package around the system. Is there a better way to get rid of a package.

thanks in advance

Source packages are usually installed in /usr/src/<name of the package> , I don't know the answer to your second question but I'd try removing the package using DPKG wtih the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/

if you have installed package group with apt-get then --purge wont remove all other packages.
one should use aptitude for group installation coz it keeps a log of every single package installed as a part of group and removes all one go.
