That's what I needed, the -l switch. I did

        sudo dpkg -l |grep opera

And it listed the package as opera-static. WTH? What were those Opera
people thinking? "Static"? Who would have guessed that? And note that
Synaptic never listed opera-static. At first it listed nothing, then
after enabling the special Opera repository it listed Opera 11.61. Very
strange.

Anyway, once I knew the name of the package "sudo dpkg -r opera-static"
got rid of it. And then "sudo aptitude install opera" found version
11.61 in the repository and added it. 

All is peaceful again in Lucid-land. Thanks for the hint. :)
