I don't know much about Linux Mint, so it's hard to say. But I wouldn't be
surprised if your old software won't run on the latest Mint. And the .deb
package you want to install won't run on your old Mint, so that's a bit of
a pickle.

Normally the easiest solution would be to keep the old machine on 20.1
and install the new Mint on a new one (until you install the appropriate
new software versions on the new one so that you can switch to it
permanently.) But I don't know whether this is an option in your case.

Maybe someone else on this list who knows more about Linux Mint will
be able to offer more substantial help.
