The whole point of "dpkg -p" is to print info from the "available" file,
it's working as advertised. However, if you're using an apt-based
frontend (as most people do), you should use "apt-cache" instead.
For the record, if you really want to use "dpkg -p" (and, thus, the
available file), the easiest way to keep it up to date is to use "sudo
dselect update" instead of "sudo apt-get update".
