`ghost update` keeps 2 most current, not 2 last active versions, breaking downgrading
The Ghost CLI allows for updating (and installing) specific versions/tags of Ghost. It is possible to provide them with v as a prefix, or without, as well as only providing the major version or the major and minor versions, omitting the patch version.
If the minor version is a multiple of 10 (10, 20, ...), having at least 2 digits and ending in 0, the wrong version gets installed. The 2 digits are split, and the first is used as the minor version and the 0 as the patch version.
Have a Ghost install
Preferably, with version <5.20, so the --force flag doesn't need to be used
Run ghost update and provide a specific version, that has a minor version of a multiple of 10 and don't provide the patch version, like ghost update 5.20
Observe, that Ghost version 5.2.0 is getting installed
CLI command ghost update 5.20 log:
$ ghost update 5.20
