Hi Charles, thanks for the bug report.
It looks like apt is being nitpicky about parsing the package name and
is expecting a a trailing '-N' before the file extension (see graphic
at
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/PackagingInstructions#ProblematicPackageVersions).
Judging from the fact that libspatialindex has had it's current package
name since 2010, and a previous package in 2009 of same nature, I
deduce that osgeo-setup.exe is more forgiving about lack of a package
number. So for the moment I suggest using the setup.exe for this
particular package.
Personally I think this is a bug on the part of the exe installer, not
following the package name spec, but since apt is the little guy here
I'll try and bring it inline. ;-)
