How to locate path of installed packages from within a Fedora Distrobox container?

Hello good folks,

Some background info:

I am running Fedora Atomic (Kinoite) 40, and have installed Distrobox, through which I run a Fedora 40 container (among others).

I’ve recently installed the sfizz-ui package (from here and by extension here), by entering my Fedora 40 distrobox container and installing with sudo dnf install sfizz-1.2.3-3.1.x86_64.rpm.

Everything went smoothly. However, when trying to find this VST/LV plugin with Reaper it doesn’t appear anywhere.

I tried searching my home directory for sfizz, to no avail. Also tried going into HOME/.local/bin/ and searching, but there’s hardly anything there.

It seems that this package has been installed inside the distrobox container, but is nowhere to be found, so I can’t point Reaper to it (Reaper has the ability to add additional VST/LV paths).

Where would this package (presumably: sfizz.so) be installed so that I can add that path to Reaper?

Thanks,

You can see the content of the RPM package (that is, what and where stuff is installed) with
rpm -ql sfizz (if it is installed)
or
rpm -qpl sfizz-1.2.3-3.1.x86_64.rpm (before installing the package)

But wait, do you want to point sfizz from outside the container?

With distrobox there is the possibility to export an application or a binary with distrobox-export
Maybe? distrobox-export -b /usr/bin/sfizz_render (from inside the container), then you should find it under ~/.local/bin (outside the container).
