    Apt is correct, and the discrepancy is expected behavior. Recall that every stock install of Ubuntu will silently discover, download, and install install security-patched packages automatically (there are a couple exceptions, but OpenSSH is not one of them). Your output clearly shows that your system had already installed the patched package before you instructed it. Your confusion occurred because you tried to outwit the system.
