You're right, it unpacked the version from the cache. But then there is
still a bug in apt, since unless I clean the cache, it will continuously
unpack it, thinking it is the right deb.
What makes it think the one installed is not the available one ? Why
wouldn't it be possible to detect the same problem wrt the cache ?
And above all, why if I comment out any one of the 2 source lines, would it
think that the installed package is good ?
