That is the one installed in the "target" side of scratchbox (and will
be removed when resetting the target)...

..and these are most likely a part of a scratchbox toolkit, and thus
are not visible to the package management (these won't go away even if
you reset your target).

You can probably use the package form Debian, if you really need the
1.6 version.

Find package which contains a file:
  dpkg -S <file>

List files in a package:
  dpkg -L <package>
