Package: gnucash Version: 2.2.9-7 Severity: important
When I started up GnuCash on a host that now runs Squeeze and previously ran Lenny (including GnuCash) with a data file that was last edited on another host running Squeeze, Gnucash shows the following two dialogs (transcribed manually because selecting the text doesn't work): "An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for gnucash. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." [Details] [OK] "Cannot find default values The configuration data used to specify default values for GnuCash cannot be found in the default system locations. Without this data GnuCash will still operate properly but it may require some extra time to setup. Do you wish to setup the configuration data?" [Help] [Quit] [Skip] [Setup] The most important issue is that the [Details] button cannot be activated, most likely because the second dialog is modal and prevents interaction with the first. The Help button is broken as well (even though gnucash-docs is installed), but that's a different bug. Especially (but not only) because the error message details are inaccessible, the user is faced with three options of unknown impact: [Quit] Will this change anything on my system (data file, configuration) or exit right away? [Skip] What impact does ignoring the dialog (i.e. skipping it) have? Will it change configuration? How does GnuCash behave afterwards? What does "require some extra time to setup" mean? Just longer startup time or do I need to change some configuration manually? [Setup] What exactly does it do? Where does the (new?) "configuration data" get stored and where does it come from if not from the system? Will it override my customised configuration? Will it still "require some extra time to setup" (and again: what does that mean)? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnucash depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnucash-common 2.2.9-7 A personal finance and money track ii guile-1.6-libs 1.6.8-10 Main Guile libraries ii guile-1.6-slib 1.6.8-10 Guile SLIB support ii libaqbanking29 4.2.4-2 library for online banking applica ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.21-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.3-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.24.3-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.11.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-5 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.57-2 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libdate-manip-perl 6.11-1 module for manipulating dates ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-1 a wrapper library for various spel ii libfinance-quote-perl 1.17-1 Perl module for retrieving stock q ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.30.0-1 The GNOME library - runtime files ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.30.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.3-1 The GNOME libraries (User Interfac ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.24.3-1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgoffice-0.8-8 0.8.10-1 Document centric objects library - ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1+b1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkhtml3.14-19 3.30.3-1 HTML rendering/editing library - r ii libguile-ltdl-1 1.6.8-10 Guile's patched version of libtool ii libgwenhywfar47 3.11.3-1 OS abstraction layer ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libktoblzcheck1c2a 1.28-1 library for verification of accoun ii libltdl7 2.2.6b-2 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libofx4 1:0.9.0-3 library to support Open Financial ii liborbit2 1:2.14.18-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.16-1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii slib 3b1-3.1 Portable Scheme library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnucash recommends: ii gnucash-docs 2.2.0-3 Documentation for gnucash, a perso gnucash suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
