I got it working. I had to run sudo aptitude build-dep gnucash This downgraded some packages. I'm not sure when I installed the newer versions, maybe when I installed wine a few days ago. I uninstalled it shortly after, so I don't know if that's broken by the downgrade.
I'm not sure when a person should run aptitude instead of apt-get, but perhaps the wiki should be updated.
