Long time since I used Ubuntu or other Deb based Linux distributions, but you can pin packages at a specific version with apt. Quick search says apt-mark hold package-name should do the trick. Maybe consult the man page of apt-mark or search a little more by yourself. this link suggests using dpkg for pinning the package version.
Yeah but i used many ubuntu based distros like mint,tuxedo os And no other distro forces me to install its packages on top of the ones I installed from the deb file.
I'm not sure if I understand right, but I think that is the default behavior of apt to install the version available via repository over externally installed packages even if it is a version downgrad.
Not sure Havent seen that earlier Its like pop os force
You will want to “hold” the package in apt. That’s what I do.
