Maybe you missed a package? Try dpkg-query -l "*torrent*" | grep ^ii to check. For example, when I try that, I get ii libtorrent-rasterbar7 0.16.17-1ubuntu3~ppa1~trusty amd64 C++ bittorrent library by Rasterbar Software ii libtorrent-rasterbar8 1.0.1-1~ppa1~trusty amd64 C++ bittorrent libr...

Use "apt-get install <packagename>=<version>" to force a version different from the latest.
