Public bug reported:

The dpkg option -p is reading the file /var/lib/dpkg/available.

But in 14.10, this file is not updated anymore, the file updated is
/var/lib/dpkg/status

So there's a bug,for exeample with a kernel-image:

$ dpkg -p linux-image-3.16.0-24-generic
dpkg-query: le paquet « linux-image-3.16.0-24-generic » n'est pas disponible
Utilisez dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) pour examiner les fichiers
archives, et dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) pour afficher leur
contenu.

You can see here a screen of the files:

/var/lib/dpkg/available is last modified in 10/26/2014 (date of my migration to 
14.10), and
/var/lib/dpkg/status last modified today, 05/19/2014
