You can install specific version of a desired package using APT, but only if the version is still in the repository and APT knows about it. If it's no longer there (or never was), you may need to add additional sources or build from source. More details are in man apt-get or man aptitude. Using Tomcat, for example, our options are the current version (7.0.52-1ubuntu0.1):

apt-get install tomcat

or a previous version:

apt-get install tomcat=6.0.39-1

Keep in mind that older (or source-built) packages may have missing dependencies, security issues, bugs, etc. that have been resolved in newer versions.

Hope that helps,
Eddie
