Need to install old version 2.2.2

[likewei92]

Issue: Is there a way to install the old 2.2.2 version of matplotlib from conda forge (linux-64/matplotlib-2.2.2-py36_1)? I can see it here https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/matplotlib/files?version=2.2.2 but I can't seem to install it with conda. I have a lot of packages and it's the only version that works with my packages. The version py36_1 got moved and trying to install matplotlib=2.2.2=py36_1 results in package not found. The details below are from an old environment that I can't reproduce anymore.

As you can see they have the old epoch label, meaning they are no long safe to be installed alongside new packages built with new compilers. There is a way to get them but you will need to ensure everything (or most of the packages) come from that epoch/label, for example:

conda create --name TEST --channel conda-forge/label/cf201901 matplotlib=2.2.2
