It seems that libdbi1 and libdbd-mysql have to be the same version! There is a mail on the german gnucash list: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-de/2014-January/008932.html
Due to the poster the problem dissapeared after upgrading libdbd-mysql to version 0.9 So libdbi1 and libdbd-mysql have to be the same version The versions in trusty are: $ apt-cache policy libdbi1 libdbd-sqlite3 libdbi1: Installiert: 0.8.4-6 Installationskandidat: 0.9.0-1 [...] libdbd-sqlite3: Installiert: 0.8.3-1+s-5ubuntu1 Installationskandidat: 0.8.3-1+s-5ubuntu1 [...] Upgrading libdbd-mysql to 0.9 will solve the problem, hopefully.... At least it did so in Debian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libdbi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273407 Title: won't open sqlite3 file due to libdbi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnucash/+bug/1273407/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
