[Bug 1404381] Re: dpkg option -p bug in 14.10

[gaara]

** Description changed:

  The dpkg option -p is reading the file /var/lib/dpkg/available.
  
  But in 14.10, this file is not updated anymore, the file updated is
  /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
  So there's a bug,for exeample with a kernel-image:
  
  $ dpkg -p linux-image-3.16.0-24-generic
  dpkg-query: le paquet « linux-image-3.16.0-24-generic » n'est pas disponible
  Utilisez dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) pour examiner les fichiers
  archives, et dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) pour afficher leur
  contenu.
  
  You can see here a screen of the files:

  /var/lib/dpkg/available is last modified in 10/26/2014 (date of my migration to 14.10), and
  /var/lib/dpkg/status last modified today, 05/19/2014
