I have a private package in npm which is very frequently updated,
and i want to do a minor change on one of theprevious versionsof the package.
for example my current version is 1.14.0 and i want to make change on top of 1.11.1, so that all the changes after 1.11.1 are excluded.
EDIT
versions released in between
1.11.1, 1.12.0, 1.12.1, 1.12.2, 1.13.0, 1.14.0
Is it possible? if yes how?
Thanks

sudo apt install capnproto
This installs v0.7.0 in my ubuntu 20.04. However, i require v0.8.0 to be installed.
Also, i need v0.6.1 to be installed additionally for backward compatibility.
Any solution for these two cases ?
You will probably need to install from source rather than use a distro package. Unfortunately, it sounds like the Ubuntu distro package hasn't been updated in a while.
Instructions for building and installing from source can be found here: https://capnproto.org/install.html
Old versions are available by changing the version number in the download URL to whichever version you need.
Note that all versions of Cap'n Proto are backwards-compatible, so there should be no need to install older versions, unless you need to run a specific complied binary that was linked against a specific old version.
Today I tried to upgrade the "icu" pacman package, because I need it for NodeJS to work.
After I installed the newest version my system completely broke, I can't even start it up anymore.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem with Node or how to correctly upgrade the "icu" package?
You shouldn't upgrade individual packages. Instead, you should upgrade the entire system. The reason for this is that the dependencies that exist between packages will break sooner or later if you perform partial upgrades.
If you can't boot your system any more, try booting on the installation media, mount the installed disk, arch-chroot into it and run pacman -Syu.
The proper way to upgrade Arch linux is described here:

I have lately installed the latest version of Bob (particularly, the package bob.bio.face) (9.0) using conda and following the installation instructions. This automatically installed python version 3.8. When I try to run
bob bio pipelines vanilla-biometrics arface gabor_graph
I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bob.db.arface'
So, I try to install bob.db.arface: conda install bob.db.arface. For some reason, this wants to install a whole new python version (3.7), and reinstall all bob packages.
Looking at the pipelines of bob.db.arface (https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.db.arface/pipelines/45435), I can see that only python 3.6 and 3.7 is supported. It seems to be that this is true for many of the bob.db packages. Will there be versions for python 3.8 available, or do I need to downgrade to python 3.7?
In the new release of bob we deprecated all database packages and porting them one by one (once we have the time for it) to the new database interface (https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.bio.face/-/issues/54).
If you want to use the old bob.dbs and the legacy database support (https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/bob.bio.base/stable/legacy.html), please, rely on bob for py37.
Cheers
You may pip install the bob.db.arface package or use buildout but know that most bob.db. packages are deprecated in favor of the csv format. https://groups.google.com/g/bob-devel/c/6-4SxluHHrA
Is there an easy way to use apt-get to install an older version of Maven 2 on Ubuntu Maverick?
I'd like to use 2.0.9.
Try downloading from launchpad: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15563514/maven2_2.0.9-2_all.deb
Double-click on it and GDebi should do the rest.
This package is no longer maintained on LTS and newer versions. Be careful, I haven't tried it because I have a newer version.
Anyway, why would you use an older one?

I have:
Ubuntu 8.04
python 2.5.2 installed on this Ubuntu
matplotlib 0.92.0 installed
I want to upgrade to (atleast) matplotlib 0.99
so that I can do 3d plotting.
The synaptic package (also the command line apt-get)
tells me that whatever I have is the latest matplotlib (which is not true).
How can I install matplotlib 0.99 or matplotlib 1.0.1 ?
You have the latest available package version for your operating system. Given that Ubuntu is at version 11 now and you are using 8.04, the version difference in the matplotlib package might not come as very surprising.
As for installing the newest version, I'd suggest reading:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html
...if all fails, you can always install from source.
Note that support for Desktop versions of 8.04 LTS is due to expire shortly -- if this is a desktop machine, perhaps the easiest answer is to upgrade to 10.04 LTS, 10.10, or the very-soon-upcoming 11.04 release (or whatever they'll call the next release). Maybe not "the easiest answer", but an answer that includes security updates for Mozilla, Adobe Flash, the Kernel, and so forth.
Many newer versions of packages are supported via the Ubuntu Backports facility, but I didn't spot python-matplotlib in the list of available packages. Perhaps they would provide it if you asked nicely, perhaps it would be too much work.
You can always try installing newer versions from newer releases, but newer versions of python and libraries might introduce worse problems. (But probably will work fine.) See the apt_preferences(5) manpage for details on how to configure multiple APT sources and select some specific packages from a newer distribution (pinning), and rely on the older distribution for all the other packages.
Jim's answer of building the version you need from source is probably your best second option, if installing a newer version of the distribution is too daunting / otherwise impossible at this point.
