sibilla ~ # apt-cache policy dpkg

Installato: 1.18.4ubuntu1.1

>From the manual:
To list installed packages related to the editor vi(1) (note that dpkg-query
does not load the available file anymore by default, and the dpkg-query
--load-avail option should be used instead for that):
dpkg -l '*vi*'
While "dpkg -l" without package name show only installed packages "dpkg
-l foo*" show a list of installed and not installed (available)
packages.
This bug may be related to #83734 but it's not the same problem.
sibilla ~ # dpkg -l "dpkg*"
ii dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.1
amd64 Debian package management system
un dpkg-cross <nessuna>
<nessuna> (nessuna descrizione disponibile)
ii dpkg-dev 1.18.4ubuntu1.1
all Debian package development tools
It should be like this since dpkg-cross is available and not installed:
sibilla ~ # dpkg -l "dpkg*"
ii dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.1
amd64 Debian package management system
ii dpkg-dev 1.18.4ubuntu1.1
