[Xastir] Installing Xastir on Mint

[vk2tv]

Michael,
You've already had replies on this that I won't duplicate, so what 
follows is general in nature.

I used to use Linux Mint and I also used to use Ubuntu but I dumped both 
of them (for different reasons) and I've used only vanilla Debian for 
about ten years.

With the exception of a long-defunct version of Linux Mint that was a 
rolling release based on Debian Testing - known as LMDE (Linux Mint 
Debian Edition) - Linux Mint has always been more closely aligned with 
Ubuntu than it is with vanilla Debian and for that reason I would find 
instructions for the Ubuntu release that aligns with a particular LM 
release, i.e., pick the Ubuntu release upon which your version of LM is 
based and follow those Ubuntu instructions to install xastir.
