Frank, You’ve misunderstood the thread: It’s about a deficiency in the dependencies of the Debian package manager, not anything to do with GnuCash’s build requirements. Regards, John Ralls > On Aug 22, 2018, at 10:13 AM, Frank H. Ellenberger > wrote: > > From

No disagreement here on building from source. A PPA did exist for GnuCash versions beyond the Ubuntu standard repo. That was GetDeb.org. It went dark. If I had installed 3.x.x. from GetDeb and I had to reinstall for some reason, building from source would be about the only option (or perhaps

Were either of you at any time storing your GnuCash files on an SD card? If so, I’d suggest using a card to load the file, then doing a Save As elsewhere (with the card still in the drive). Then close and re-open GnuCash to load from the new location. THEN Safely Eject and remove the SD card.
