I might have discovered the issue just after I sent this. Looks like
the mirror I was using was out of date, as I decided to check another
mirror and now fink is 'selfupdating.' I will issue an update-all to
see what I get. Will let everyone know in a little bit.

I have an issue with gnucash that I do not understand. I have been
using gnucash for the past 6 months or so with great success. I have
had a recent problem with my fink install that lead me to starting
over from scratch. I like to compile everything rather than use the
binaries, so everything is compiled from the start. Having installed
fink, installed gnucash, and then xchat, I am unable to use my old
gnucash info. gnucash opens just fine, but asks me to start a new
account, import qif, etc. my original '.gnucash' folder is still in
my home directory, but gnucash decides to not see it. So I decide to
manually open it within gnucahs, but get the message, "This file/URL
appears to be from a newer version of GnuCash. You must upgrade your
version of GnuCash to work with this data." With this, I figured I
must have not run selfupdate or update-all (having thought I did).
Well it turns out that I did and everything is up to date.
What I do not understand is why I was able to work with it all along
before my fink issue, but am now on the older version. GnuCash's
version number on my system is 1.8.9. Not sure if it is 1.8.9-14 as
in the package description as I do not see why it wouldn't be. Any
ideas would be much appreciated as I dread not being able to recover 6
months worth of financial data. Thanks.
