Wow that is a large jump! I expect the EPSG database has been updated a few times over the course of so many releases.

The EPSG database is stored on disk, and intended to be updated automatically as needed.

The docs for manual editing indicate to clear using:

rm -rf /tmp/Geotools/Databases/HSQL

I am not on linux perhaps you can check if this is correct.
