How to stop 'apt update' + 'apt upgrade' from updating one particular library?

[Chris Green]

There is a bug in the version 10.37 of libpcre2-8-0:amd64 which installs
with [x]ubuntu 21.10.  The bug is not present in the previous version.

Is there any way to prevent apt from updating that particular library
to the latest version when I do an overall 'apt update' and 'apt
upgrade'?

Fortunately, at present, I have nothing which depends on the newest
version of libpcre2-8-0:amd64 so everything works fine with the
previous version.  Hopefully the bug will get fixed and I will be able
to allow a newer version to be installed but for the present I want to
lock my installed version of libpcre2-8-0:amd64 at 10.36.
