RPM-based distros (redhat, etc.)

    # List all files from q package
    rpm -ql <package>
    # Where did file come from
    rpm -qf <path>

And just because I have to be THAT guy, with Arch linux you use pacman -Ql and pacman -Qo to do the same.

Also, man! Do I love the Arch wiki:

I'll be THAT guy as well! On Gentoo, "equery f <package>" displays a list of files installed by that package, "equery b <path>" says which package owns that file or directory, if any. (f and b are the short versions of "files" and "belongs", respectively)

I prefer `qlist` and `qfile` from app-portage/portage-utils [0] as the q versions tend to be faster.
