Eeek!  If the package name isn't "ente-auth-v4.3.1" then they've
seriously messed around with expectations.  Granted, we already saw
that with the "x86_64" instead of "amd64" as the arch.

At this point, it would be a really good idea to *confirm* the name of
the package.  "dpkg -l ente\*" or similar should suffice.

Once you know the name of the package, then you can decide how to
proceed.

 * If the package name really is "enteauth" or "ente-auth" without a
   version number inside it, then installing the second .deb package
   should have replaced the original.

 * If the packge name is "ente-auth-v4.3.1" or similar, with a version
   number in it, then you may have *both* versions installed at the
   same time, either conflicting with each other, or not.  In that case,
   the best thing to do at this point would be to purge both, and then
   install whichever one you want.
