Ok, this works to retrieve the package list

The example below shows information about package, but not the file
owned by that package. the dependancies are not important here. I want
to know that apache has file /usr/sbin/httpd and so on. Also I want to
know if /usr/sbin/httpd is a configuration file or not.

While useful to administration, the output of this command is not what I need.

Is there a --dump option in dpkg, showing all it knows about a package ?
