Instead of building a new version yourself, try the backport - there
you'll at least have version 3.9.3. (The versions backported must be
available in testing before being backported, this is why 3.10.1 isn't
backported yet - I will backport it as soon as it is available in
testing).

Instructions on how to install from backports available at
