Subject: dpkg: --print-avail lies sometimes
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.19
Severity: normal
dpkg --print-avail is telling a different story than dpkg --list and
grep-status -PX. --print-avail is wrong. Please let me know if I can
provide any further information.

use this. Don't worry - it's not difficult to do.
