Oh boy, this is entirely different! You seem to have confused between
a list of installed packages and the list of _files_ installed _by_
one package. For example, try the following:

~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep kdebase-bin-kde3
~$ dpkg -L kdebase-bin-kde3

While the former shows that the software package "kdebase-bin-kde3" is
installed the later gives the _files_ which are part of the
kdebase-bin-kde3 package. And certainly, you do not need sudo
privileges for --get-selections!!
