Package: gnucash -----Original Message----- To: Bart Martens; Thomas Bushnell; b...@debian.org Subject: GnuCash Fails on Fresh Debian Lenny Install
Hi Bart, I'm trying to report a bug. I just did a fresh install of Debian Lenny, 5.0.3, on a D201GLY2 motherboard with fairly standard hardware. Then I installed gnucash with `apt-get install gnucash`. Gnucash died on startup. :-( I did some web searching, and some people suggested using guile-1.8 instead of guile-1.6. I installed guile-1.8, and it was still broken. So I deleted all of gnucash, guile, etc., and re-installed it with `apt-get install gnucash gnucash-common gnucash-docs`. Then it worked. WTF?? However, now the old bug of not being able to retreive quotes is back. "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:" (Securities not listed.) This is frustrating. I haven't yet been able to find a solution to this. Debian Stable should work, out of the box. This broken stuff is maybe OK for testing, and understood for unstable, but stable should be *STABLE*! How to reproduce: Do a fresh install of Debian Lenny 5.0.3; Install Gnucash; Start it up. Cry and complain. How did these bugs slip through testing? If you have any advice for me, I just want to have a working Debian box. I need GnuCash. Please help.
