'apt-get update' doesn't update dpkg's available file. Use 'dselect update' instead, which does 'apt-get update' and then merges it with dpkg's records. Also, 'dpkg -l' looks in dpkg's status file, which doesn't necessarily record all uninstalled packages unless you use dselect on a regular basis. It'll record installed packages reliably, though.
