s/still/now/ - it would have worked with the "bad" packages in place.

To use 9.6, see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt/FAQ#I_want_to_try_the_beta_version_of_the_next_PostgreSQL_release :

We ship packages for alpha and beta releases, but like in the previous
FAQ entry, we have only one version of libpq5 in the main archive
component. To use packages of postgresql-9.6, you need to add the 9.6
component to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list entry, so the 9.6
version of libpq5 will be available for installation:

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ jessie-pgdg main 9.6
