Hm, I'm not sure which "other" you mean. IMHO, apt thinks it has something
to download, then at least one of the 2 available versions is different from
the installed version. Then if I comment one of the 2 sources line, apt
should still detect the difference, at least in one case, and obviously it
does not.
And there is the issue of the "wesnoth" binary package, for which,
similarly, at least one different version was available, and which apt
apparently failed to detect, since it did not attempt to download a new one.
