Question: Application requires missing libprotobuf.so.13 version, how to find equivalent tag?

[rahuldeo2047]

I have an application requires libprotobuf.so.13.

Environment Details

• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
• Architecture: arm64
• Current Protobuf Versions:

lib	version
libprotobuf17:arm64	3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2
libprotobuf22	3.11.4-r0

Problem Description
The application fails to start, citing a missing libprotobuf.so.13. The error message I receive is:
error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried looking for the release or tag that includes libprotobuf.so.13 but have not succeeded.

Steps Taken
Searched through the official protobuf GitHub repository for older releases but could not find any corresponding to libprotobuf.so.13.
Reviewed the package management system on Ubuntu but found only newer versions.

Question
How can I find the required version or tag for libprotobuf.so.13? Is there a recommended approach to handle such cases where an older library version is needed but seems unavailable?

I tried to follow the guidelines and code of conduct. I concluded to create a new issue for this question.
