At least I haven't this issue on any of my machine, so I suspect
either a mirror or an APT hook issue. Since Vincent and shirish come
from at least different cultures, I expect they use different mirrors,
hence this is likely not a mirror issue. (Vincent: Can you still tell
us which mirror you use?) Leaves APT hooks.

So I'd like to know from both, shirish and Vincent the output of the
following command:

ls -1 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

(That should suffice to get an overview over the installed and APT
hook installing packages.

If you're ok with it, an additional "cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*[^~]" could be shed some additional light on the
issue.

Thanks in advance.
