The problem here is gconf.  You need to tell gconf where to find
the gnucash schema files.  Your .deb should just run the gconf
schema installer in the post-install script, and then the user
will never see this.

I think this was recently discussed on this list (in terms of
the RPM) -- or you can look at the RPM spec file in subversion
to find the invocation.  I'm sorry I don't know if offhand.

Quoting Thomas Bushnell BSG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I'm working on packaging 1.9.1 for Debian experimental, and am trying
to solve a minor problem.

When I run the packaged gnucash I get the dialog box "Cannot find
default values", saying

 The configuration data used to specify default values for Gnucash
 cannot be found in the default system locations...

I click Setup, and get the "Update gnucash configuration data" wizard,
which says:

 The configuration data used by Gnucash to specify its default values
 cannot be found in the default system locations.  Without this data
 Gnucash will still operate properly, but it may require some extra
 time to set up.

Ok, so I don't want Debian users to have to deal with this.  Clearly
I've got something in the wrong place.

So:

1) What are the files being referred to here?
2) What are the "default system locations" gnucash is looking in?

Thomas
