I have not used gdebi. I uninstall previous versions. How you do that depends on how the previous version was installed. If you did a local compile and install then you will need to use the same make file to uninstall it. Otherwise, I do: sudo apt remove *gnucash* cd Download (or appropriate folder for the 3 deb files) sudo apt install ./*gnucash*3.5_*.deb Please note the leading ./ on the file name pattern. Otherwise, apt will go looking in the repository instead of your hard drive. Here is the output from doing the above on my system: $ sudo apt remove *gnucash* [sudo] password for steve: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reading package lists...
