Very strange. Here is what I did on my system under bash:
(mark, destiny)$ ls
Maelstromgnuchesscmaelstromxonix
Maelstrom_sound gnuchessnmirrormagic xp-replay
acm gnuchessrnethack xpat2

But the interesting thing is that dpkg -l *tex* actually _works_ when

Are you sure you tried dpkg -l *tex* in a directory where you know there's
a file whose name matches the pattern *tex*, and whose

Mark,
When using wildcards in bash, the shell attempts to expand them, but
if it finds nothing that matches the specified pattern, it passes the
wildcard string to the command. Quoting the wildcard pattern causes
the shell to pass it as a single argument to the command.
In your case, since
