If I understand you correctly, what you are looking for is "dpkg -l" which
lists all packages matching a pattern and gives you info about their state.
For example, when I type
dpkg -l '*xml*'
I get
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-======================================-========================-========================-==================================================================================
un libkxml2-java <none> (no description available)
un liblouisxml-dev <none> (no description available)
un librexml-ruby1.8 <none> (no description available)
ii librpc-xml-perl 0.76-3 all Perl implementation of the XML-RPC protocol
ii libxml-commons-external-java 1.4.01-2 all XML Commons external code - DOM, SAX, and JAXP, etc
ii libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java 1.2-7 all XML entity and URI resolver library
un libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java-doc <none> (no description available)
ii libxml-dom-perl 1.44-1 all Perl module for building DOM Level 1 compliant doc structures
(many more).
The two characters at the start of the line say which status the
package is in (first letter whether it's scheduled for installation
and so on, the second letter whether it's actually installed).
Does this do what you need?
Apt-cache has a different kind of output, but as far as I know
you can filter there for installed packages only, if you wish.
