Quarterly? Latest? (One can be available when the other is not, for
example. Some times the versions are distinct; other times they are the
same.) I've also assumed amd64 --but that is not the only possibility.
Different platforms need not match for current-version status.

vscode-1.108.0 (quarterly) and vscode-1.108.1 (latest) both depend on
electron39-29.2.7 currently.

electron39-29.2.7 is not the version being built for official
distribution (such resource and time intensive builds get only one
version built for distribution):

The electron* versions built for distribution are currently:
Latest:    electron37-37.10.3
Quarterly: electron37-37.10.3

As stands, you would have to build:

electron39-29.2.7
vscode-1.108.* (the appropriate one for your context)

locally (including any prerequisites not otherwise available with the
appropriate version) and install the subset of things that are required
at run-time.

However, since builds and installs need not be independent, you might
have to build and install more to be based on the same port source code
vintages as used to do the above builds. Or just build and install
everything locally so that they are consistent.


Note, as stands: For quarterly, only deltachat-desktop-2.35.0 and
vscode-1.108.0 depend on electron39-29.2.7; only logseq-0.10.15_1
depends on electron38-38.7.2 . For latest, only deltachat-desktop-2.35.0
and vscode-1.108.1 depend on electron39-29.2.7; only logseq-0.10.15_1
depends on electron38-38.7.2 .
