My guess would be these libraries somehow conflict with something in the stable branch. You'd probably have to do a "dist-upgrade" with all that implies... The newest version definitely does alot more than previous ones (some of the changes are rather dramatic and take some getting used to). > Am I out of luck until more is done with gnucash? Or have I --- heaven > forfend! --- made a mistake somewhere? Generally it's not good to mix stable and unstable anyway. Perhaps someone has a Potato version of GNUCash (and it's 300 dependencies!). > An additional question: If I now remove the above line from > sources.list and do 'apt-get update' will I have removed unstable > stuff from my package lists? Should be okay. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
