Why?
I see a couple error emails in lava_users list after upgrading the next/latest versions.
If I installed one lava-dispatcher version last month (let say with 2021.10) and want to install the 2nd/new Lava-dispatcher with the same version in this month also. That is my goal. (I fell that there might be errors/issues popup if our lava-dispatcher have different versions )

Beyond the options that Fathi already presented, there is some work in
the backlog to change the repository to keep older versions of the .deb
packages around. This should happen in the next months.
Thanks.
