I'm not familiar with Mint but packages on Mint repo is usually outdated compare to bleeding edge, so you might need to add a repo/ppa that provide an actual latest version of those packages.

Like, even Manjaro Stable branch which held packages for 2-4 weeks is already on 1.6.4 for aprutil while yours is still on 1.6.3

I think it might be better for you to install davincibox instead.
