Which Ubuntu release is your server running?

And for installing, just use Ubuntu's package management system, e.g. with a command like
sudo apt install libxml2

see also https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/package-management

My UBUNTU version is Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I ran that command but, I received a message that I already have the last version in my server (2.9.10+dfsg-5ubuntu0.20.04.1). The problem is my company want the version (2.9.10+dfsg-5ubuntu0.20.04.2) with .2 at the end. There is a possibility to do that?

Try updating the local list of available packages and then try again:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

if this still does not install the newest version, then please paste all output into this question document that we can check.

"How can I update the local list of available packages?"
With the first of the two commands in my comment #4
And the second command will then install a newer version of all packages for which an update is available.

I did that and in fact I follow the instructions of the INSTALL file of the package and nothing worked, I am still with the same version that end in .1

Hi Manfre, appriciate your help what you said was right, the problem was in my side because, there is a restriction in the domain of company to do a patch update outside of the patch cicle, they gave me the command to bypass this restriction and I was able to install the new version of the package without problems.
