I know at least one uses Fedora, so they won’t be building a .deb for you. (an .rpm perhaps?) But building a .deb package is what you’re going to find in a repository. (Debian/Ubuntu/derivative repositories are collections of .deb packages) 3.2 has not made it out of Sid because of several

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.

I would think it possible to do this in your regular books, with a bit of care. I would favor using equity accounts only, but I suppose using Income/Expense (as you noted are really Equity anyway) is probably easier for many to wrap their head around. The care would come in that you’d need to

Nigel, as long as your parent accounts are all placeholders that will work fine, but if any of them can or do contain transactions, by not showing their balances, the sum of the accounts on the report won’t match the totals shown. (making all parent accounts placeholders is probably the safest

Even with your example, the Income and Sales amounts should be further to the right. I agree, child account amounts should be on the left and parents/subtotals/totals should be on the right. Try this in your report options: Set Parent Account Balances to ’Subtotal’ Set Parent Account Subtotals

You can do it that way, and date the transaction appropriately (as 31st July). It will show in the register with a line between it and the current/historical transactions. (I think it will be a blue line if I recall) Any report you run through or as of 30th July, (in this particular case) that
