It works quite well, only "awk '{print $1}'" also shows the "/unknown" part that is appended to the packages names. For example:
libsnmp5/unknown
unzip/unknown
cpio/unknown
Because of this dpkg cannot handle this.
Can you tell me how I can exclude that "/unknown" part?
Thanks a lot

something like this should work:
for i in $(apt-show-versions -u|awk '{print $1}'); do dpkg -L $i;done
The awk '{print $1}' outputs the first collumn. I don't rember what column
apt-show-versions shows the package name, so you may need to change this.
To sort the output do this instead:
sort <(for i in $(apt-show-versions -u|awk '{print $1}'); do dpkg -L
$i;done)
