Try counting the number of chars in this dpkg output and you will also
notice that it's more then 15 chars (exactly 28 chars). dpkg doesn't
only show 15 chars of the name only. It's just a matter of the having
either a large enough terminal or console. Or just setting COLUMNS
correctly before calling dpkg -l.
