Since you said you use Mint, go to Mint's package manager (could
depend on the desktop environment) and search there.
https://packages.linuxmint.com/ does not find anything
lensfun-related, I'd guess they don't list packages inherited from
Ubuntu (on which Mint is based).
Ubuntu package search:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=lensfun&searchon=names&suite=focal&section=all

On your machine, at the command prompt, you could try:
apt search lensfun
On my machine, that lists:
$ apt search lensfun

As you can see, I already have some lensfun packages installed (and if
you have a .deb package of darktable installed, you'll also have
lensfun, since the package manager software installs the required
packages (dependencies) automatically).

To install packages manually (here, for this example, let's pretend I
wanted to install liblensfun-doc):
sudo apt install liblensfun-doc

If you already have the packages installed, you can update the lensfun
database, see 
http://lensfun.sourceforge.net/manual/v0.3.2/lensfun-update-data.html

And if you really want a new version of the library (but this may
break package dependencies):
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lensfun (choose the Ubuntu
version on which your Mint is based)
