NPM UPDATE module version mismatch issue

I have used session-mongoose(0.0.2) module in one of project. This is running on the top of node version v0.6.7. There is some recent changes in that, session-mongoose module try to pull the module mongoose which is compatible with node version(v0.6.19) on using command 'npm update' against my root package.json.

Because of session-mongoose and their dependencies are dynamically pull from npm registry on 'npm update' command, I can't control these.

Now the problem is system stop working in production on new deployment. Is there any way to resolve this without update node version?

And the error log is,

npm ERR! error rolling back [email protected] Error: UNKNOWN, unknown error 'C:\Pro
gram Files\nodejs\node_builds\server\node_modules\session-mong
oose\node_modules\mongeese\node_modules\mongoose'

You will have to update the node.js. Or else you will not be able to use packages recently released. Version 0.6.19 was released in June 2012. Since then many changes have been made. Recent stable version is 0.8.19.

When dealing with dependency you should use npm-shrinkwrap to lock the dependencies. http://blog.nodejs.org/2012/02/27/managing-node-js-dependencies-with-shrinkwrap/

Or you can freeze the project (dont do updates) once you plan to deploy it.
