Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnucash
Hello,
After upgrading from Dapper to Edgy, I happily noticed that Gnucash 2
was available. Once started, it tries to open my pre-2.0 Gnucash book,
and then launches the XML import druid. So far so good, I choose the
right strings, apply, etc etc. The file opens successfully, everything
is fine, all my old stuff is here, and I can add transactions.
Unfortunately, once the file is saved, it can't be accessed any more. I
suspect Gnucash not to save the file correctly, since the file size is
ridiculously small after saving it. The backup file is correctly saved
though, and if I try to open that one, I have the import druid again,
which shows that the file is backed up and let unchanged.
When launched in an xterm, I have this (trying to open a file which have
been previously saved)
*****
gnucash: [M] "Found Finance::Quote version ""1.11"
/home/raph/.gnucash/books/Clean_Account.xac:2: parser error : Start tag
expected, '<' not found
[Top]

*****
...with the parser error repeated three times.
The import druid doesn't seem to be faulty since I tried to create brand
new files with Gnucash 2 and the result is still the same. Export
feature produces weird files too (they seem incomplete, only the
accounts are listed, no transactions).
After some web crawling I found a help request about the same problem on
Gnucash's mailing list, but no one answered it. I couldn't find anything
else.
The installed version of Gnucash is 2.0.1-3ubuntu3, and I have an up-to-
date Edgy system (upgraded from a Dapper a couple of days ago, some
problems occured since this wasn't the final release but I'm a long-time
Debian user and I managed to get it updated just fine playing with dpkg
and apt-get ; nothing should be missing since ubuntu-desktop and its
dependencies are installed).
I wish I could do some more testing and report more but now I'm stuck
somehow, I don't know what to check next.
Best regards,
