How do I install version 1.3.6 of sphinx on Ubuntu 18.04.1
For a test of compiling some other package I require the exact version of sphinx on my Ubuntu 18.04.01.
I tried the following:
sudo apt-get install sphinx=1.3.6
but it says that there is no 'package sphinx'.
So how to do it?

First of all - there is only one package for Sphinx named as sphinx - it is its source package.
According to the search results on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS you can get only 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 version.
But if you need only Python binding - you can try to install it from pip/pip3.
Other possible solution is to build older 1.3.6-2ubuntu1 Sphinx (from 16.04 LTS) from source.
If you want to take all the risk (as you will never get the security updates for Sphinx) then continue with manual installation of Sphinx 1.3.6 on Bionic:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sphinx/libjs-sphinxdoc_1.3.6-2ubuntu1_all.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sphinx/python-sphinx_1.3.6-2ubuntu1_all.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sphinx/python3-sphinx_1.3.6-2ubuntu1_all.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sphinx/sphinx-common_1.3.6-2ubuntu1_all.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sphinx/sphinx-doc_1.3.6-2ubuntu1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./*sphinx*.deb
and pin (lock) installed Sphinx packages:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-sphinx
Package: libjs-sphinxdoc
Pin: version 1.3.6-2ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1337
Package: python3-sphinx
Pin: version 1.3.6-2ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1337
Package: python-sphinx
Pin: version 1.3.6-2ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1337
Package: sphinx-common
Pin: version 1.3.6-2ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1337
Package: sphinx-doc
Pin: version 1.3.6-2ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1337
EOF
To make your system more secure consider to remove this pin-file after the compilation of dependent packages with sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-sphinx and upgrade to supported Sphinx with sudo apt dist-upgrade.
