Sorry Carl! I missed that. Yeah, there is no easy solution here. You
can try adding Jessie entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list and do an
apt-get update and then try to install. If that does not work, you
should either compile it from source or use the third party package on
Jessie only. Old packages on newer Debian versions is not supported.
