Thanks for responding. This is a really pernicious issue, so PLEASE try
to get this resolved. For YOU, you know to 'dpkg -l | cat' to get the
correct behavior. For OTHERS, people simply have no known way to answer
the question 'what version of package X do I have installed?'. This is
not a good state of affairs.
