Can't install-tool npm 6.0.3 and 7.2.1

[SaharItzhakWhiteSource]

The command "install-tool npm 6.0.3" is successful, but npm version doesn't change to 6.0.3.

Can you give steps to reproduce using the containerbase/sidecar image?

[viceice]

will have a look

Both versions don't exist¹. so not a bug.

Though they are in the Github NPM release?

https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/libnpmdiff-v6.0.3
https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/arborist-v7.2.1

[viceice]

those are deps of the cli and not npm cli releases. you can only use versions published here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm?activeTab=versions
