[GNC] 5.15 update Linux lagging behind.

[Robert Heller]

Linux mint is a "LTS" distro.  It is almost always going to have an "old" 
version of "rapidly" updated software packages.

Your options are:

1) install Flatpack and the flatpack release.
2) grab the source and build from source.  (Not actually as daunting as it 
sounds.)

The GnuCash devs have no control over what the Linux Mint maintainers do and 
do not manage the Linux Mint software repository.  Linux Mint for most of its 
repostority actually just uses Ubuntu's LTS software repository, so ultimately 
it is the Ubuntu maintainers (and might actually be the Debian maintainers in 
some cases, since Ubuntu is based on Debian).
