      No. This answer is correct. -L (capital) will list the contents of a package, and dpkg -l will list all packages installed with their status and a brief description of the packages.

      dpkg -L package is correct. Example:

      nwildner@workstation:~# dpkg -L bash
      /.
      /etc
      /etc/bash.bashrc
      /etc/skel
      /etc/skel/.profile
      /etc/skel/.bash_logout
