ESL does not build for Linux Mint, so whatever you install seems to assume a version of ubuntu or debian that di not receive any further updates after 1.3.3. As far as I can tell, it assumes Debian Wheezy, as this in fact did not receive the 1.3.4 update from what I see on the ESL download page.

Please do not install random packages that are not meant for your system.
