Installed gnomne-doc-utils but another program still says the version isn't new enough

Question

This is on Lubuntu 18.04. Below you can see the version of gnome-doc-utils apparently isn't recent enough. How can I install the most recent version? I assumed it would do that by default.

I tried again, running sudo apt-get update beforehand, then rerunning sudo apt-get install gnome-doc-utils and ./configure && make && make install but the same error was produced.

$ sudo apt-get install gnome-doc-utils

You have to install more dependencies

sudo apt-get install gnome-doc-utils libgnomeui-dev libglade2-dev \
libxslt1-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev rarian-compat

and then retry:

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://dev.gentoo.org/~leio/distfiles/ignuit-2.24.3.testing.tar.gz
tar -xf ignuit-2.24.3.testing.tar.gz
cd ignuit-2.24.3.testing/
./configure
make
sudo make install

and enjoy:

$ ignuit --version
GNOME ignuit 2.24.3.testing
