Why are libraries not updated via npm?

Question

Node.js

On the nodejs project, libraries have not been updated for a long time, I started to fix it and there was such a problem. I execute I see, for example, a very old version of mongo: I

install : Installation passed:npm audit


npm i [email protected]

+ [email protected]
updated 1 package and audited 1527 packages in 2.513s

I run it again npm auditand I see this mongodb again I update


it globally just in case npm i [email protected] -g
Everything gives the same thing

npm audit fixhere:
mongodb is among those 9 packages that it could not update

126 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

fixed 0 of 9 vulnerabilities in 1539 scanned packages
  9 vulnerabilities required manual review and could not be updated

How to eventually update these libraries in the project?

UPD: the question is removed, the problem turned out to be an obsolete dependency that is used in another dependency.
