If they are different, then it is a problem (see below)

4:4.6.2-1 entries should be a single entry normally. If you have modified and
rebuild the local package, change the version number to e.g. 4:4.6.2-1shze1 and
it may work. If two packages have the same version number, they should be
completely equal; having two different packages with the same version number
is not really supported.

If your local packages are completely the same as the remote ones, I don't
know.
