I may have posted too soon without testing the debian packages for v3.8. Installation from the v3.8 .deb files I gave the URL for failed for me on Debian Buster when installing using apt (and individually using gdebi, with similar dependency issues). I uninstalled v3.7 first.
Here is a transcript from my Terminal session: michael@thinkpad-debian:~/Downloads$ cd gnucash_3.8_deb/ michael@thinkpad-debian:~/Downloads/gnucash_3.8_deb$ sudo apt install ./*3.8*.deb Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'gnucash' instead of './gnucash_3.8b-1_amd64.deb' Note, selecting 'gnucash-common' instead of './gnucash-common_3.8b-1_all.deb' Note, selecting 'python3-gnucash' instead of './python3-gnucash_3.8b-1_amd64.deb' Some packages could not be installed.
