 Try (with or without the /local/ part):
/usr/local/share/lepton-eda/sym/connector/
/usr/local/share/gEDA/sym/connector/

http://www.gedasymbols.org/scripts/search.cgi?key=conn+5.sym
https://aspodata.se/git/openhw/share/gschem/_connector/

 Otherwise:
 Just grab whatever 5 and 10 pin symbol. If you care about pin labels or
 pin arrangements, copy the file and change it.

 A symbol is just a bunch of pins, perhaps arranged in some nice
 graphical way, with some attributes. Theese attributes are nice to 
 have:
   per pin: pinnumber pinlabel
   else: device refdes value footprint

 You can also make your own symbol with a generator:

Convert them to what ?
 if sch-rnd: use sch-rnd I guess
 if kicad: try https://aspodata.se/git/openhw/bin/sym2kicad.pl
