Thank you for your reply. In fact this is what I'm failing to. Only
manual installation helps. Maybe apt cannot distinguish what is higher
version or it is not in repo. I redo the excercises once again:

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 - issue with bsdtar package installation

Status in libarchive package in Ubuntu:

  Solution:

  Include in repository the bsdtar package from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/bsdtar/download
  (wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libarchive/bsdtar_3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb )
  which works with libarchive13 in version 3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3 which is included in U16.04
