Here are my steps: sudo apt remove gnucash gnucash-common python3-gnucash sudo apt autoremove sudo apt install ./*_3.4_*.deb I've down this on Ubuntu 18.04 and have heard that it works on Ubuntu 18.10. Let me know the results if you try it on Ubuntu 16.04. Note: If you built from scratch and installed that build, you may need to do "sudo make uninstall" from the old build directory. -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
