I think this is more an issue of your package manager than a Nim issue. (Or you 
may have installed an older Nim release and not fully removed it.) And Nim 
019.2 is already old.

For Linux systems, git install of latest Nim devel is very easy, I think most 
users do that. You only have to manage to install git before, then follow these 
instructions: (step 1 and if your box is posix step 2, which is a single 
script.) All files are installed into a single directory called Nim inside of 
your home directory, you do not need root rights. Only thing what you may have 
to do additional is settings paths, i.e. for Nim executable. (Don't forget to 
remove all previously installed Nim stuff before.)

The additional benefit is that updating then is done in a few seconds with only 
two instructions:
    
    
    # for update:
    # cd Nim
    # git pull
    # ./koch boot -d:release
    
    
    Run
