I've never been pissed off at Debian before but I guess there is always
a first.
I'm experiencing a bug in Gnucash that appeared a couple of days ago on
my system that makes Gnucash completely unusable for me. I turned in a
bug report on Friday, checked on it yesterday, and by today the bug had
been blocked from being displayed. It could be found by searching
Debian's bug tracker, but only if you know the bug id number. If you
just search for bugs in Gnucash the bug does not appear to exist.
The bug was closed, and blocked, because it's been fixed upstream in
version 2.2.9 which was released by Gnucash in February of this year.
Great. The bug has been fixed. Why it needed to be hidden from being
displayed is puzzler for me, but that's the way it is.
Now the bad news.
Since Gnucash in both Sid and Sqeeze is now at version 2.2.6 I only have
to wait until Debian works through versions 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 before
Gnucash in Debian finally becomes usable for me again in version
2.2.9. As Sid is "only" 9 months behind Gnucash's release schedule at
this point I guess the fact that all my business records for the last
couple of years are in Gnucash means I'll be able to start doing my
business accounting again sometime after the first of next year, at a
minimum, if I wait for Debian....
