The -p flag is used to query the PACKAGE_FILE [PACKAGE_NAME.version.arch.rpm] file rather than the database of installed RPMs. Use "rpm -qi PACKAGE_NAME" (just the base name - no version required) to query the RPM database. Do "man rpm" and notice the distinction between "PACKAGE_NAME" and "PACKAGE_FILE" usage for various options.
