Thanks for your report.

It is only a problem with the quicksearch. It doesn't find it because the index was not rebuild with the newest package but if you leave it empty and scroll through the list of package you should find it.

I'm marking as 'wishlist', because we could rebuild the index if the dpkg status file is newer than the package cache.

Thanks.
