Package: gnucash Version: 2.2.6-3 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have twice recently launched gnucash to have it tell me that my data file is missing... and sure enough, if I go to the directory it is supposed to be in, (~/Documents/gnucash) it is no longer there... $ ll total 696K - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 827 2009-04-10 13:32 gnucash.xac.20090410132757.log - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 213K 2009-04-05 19:41 gnucash.xac.20090410133213.xac - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 170 2009-04-10 14:01 gnucash.xac.20090410133214.log - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 213K 2009-04-10 13:32 gnucash.xac.20090410140139.xac - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 170 2009-04-10 14:01 gnucash.xac.20090410140140.log - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 20K 2009-04-24 23:55 gnucash.xac.20090424235315.log - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 213K 2009-04-10 14:01 gnucash.xac.20090424235542.xac - -rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 170 2009-04-24 23:55 gnucash.xac.20090424235544.log Fortunately I have been able to recover: $ cp gnucash.xac.20090424235542.xac gnucash.xac $ gnucash gnucash.xac Weirdly, this file only contained transactions up to 2009-04-02. However, I then replayed the log file gnucash.xac.20090424235315.log and was back up-to-date. What is strange is that the log entries I needed to replay were in that file, rather than the more-recent gnucash.xac.20090424235544.log file, which was empty apart from the file headers. I appreciate that this will be hard to track down... I really have no idea how to go about it. I can only say that my system hasn't been behaving unusually in any other regard, wasn't shut down uncleanly, etc., so I currently suspect the data/log file rollover code in Gnucash itself rather than anything else. - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnucash depends on: ii gconf2 2.24.0-7 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnucash-common 2.2.6-3 A personal finance tracking progra ii guile-1.6-libs 1.6.8-6.3 Main Guile libraries ii guile-1.6-slib 1.6.8-6.3 Guile SLIB support ii libaqbanking20 3.8.2-1 library for online banking applica ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.24.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.24.1-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.57-1+b1 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libdate-manip-perl 5.54-1 a perl library for manipulating da ii libfinance-quote-perl 1.15-1 Perl module for retrieving stock q ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.24.0-7 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.0-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.24.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeprint2.2-0 2.18.6-1 The GNOME 2.2 print architecture - ii libgnomeprintui2.2-0 2.18.4-1 GNOME 2.2 print architecture User ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.24.1-1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgoffice-0-4 0.4.2-4 Document centric objects library - ii libgsf-1-114 1.14.11-3 Structured File Library - runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.14.7-5 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkhtml3.8-15 3.12.3-3 HTML rendering/editing library - r ii libguile-ltdl-1 1.6.8-6.3 Guile's patched version of libtool ii libgwenhywfar47 3.8.0-1 OS abstraction layer ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libktoblzcheck1c2a 1.21-1 library for verification of accoun ii libofx4 1:0.9.0-3 library to support Open Financial ii liborbit2 1:2.14.17-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libosp5 1.5.2-6 Runtime library for OpenJade group ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.0-3+b1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libqthreads-12 1.6.8-6.3 QuickThreads library for Guile ii libsm6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Session Management library ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii psfontmgr 0.11.10-0.2 PostScript font manager -- part of ii slib 3b1-3 Portable Scheme library ii x-ttcidfont-conf 32 TrueType and CID fonts configurati ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnucash recommends: ii gnucash-docs 2.2.0-3 Documentation for gnucash, a perso Versions of packages gnucash suggests: pn gnucash-sql <none> (no description available) - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkny+qkACgkQshl/216gEHhDNwCgxA64iY59Y8r4PwbxjLj4bmzc 0DkAniPwNJrV1/DVREjoIfd4coxZpKLs =bgbZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
