The directory involved is part of the g-wrap package. The real problem is that g-wrap should be migrated to guile-1.8 so that gnucash can follow. The gotcha in that plan is that the last time I looked, gnucash was still using old g-wrap code that was meant to be dropped in a previous version of g-wrap so there will be problems - an updated g-wrap using guile-1.8 might simply not be compatible with the gnucash source. I may be out of date but I think this is a dual bug - please check with gnucash upstream about the status of gnucash|g-wrap|guile-1.* and maybe clone this bug and forward the clone to gnucash. See also: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359299 (quite an old bug which results in gnucash actually depending on glib1 after all the effort to port to glib2). > When testing for gnucash 1.9.3, I discovered that guile-g-wrap still > depends on the old glib 1.2 when it would be preferable for it to > depend on glib 2.0.
