Is this bug or "user error " - am I using wrong dpkg option ?
I am having a issues with verifying if the package is actually installed - using commands.
I have been told that dpkg will report package which is no longer installed and functioning - from archive.
That is not what I expect.
As a side note - I need to find out what "desired" means.

Code:
jim@jim-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -p bluez
[sudo] password for jim:
dpkg-query: package 'bluez' is not available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
jim@jim-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --info bluez
dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive 'bluez': No such file or directory
jim@jim-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -l "bluez"
