-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I got the two packages compiled, added them to the local packages repository and installed them using kpackage, the KDE package manager. I then successfully opened gnucash, selected in preferences to run any past due scheduled transactions when the data file is opened, made a couple of transactions, saved the data file, closed it and opened it again. Nothing untoward happened (yet?). Thanks for your help; I could not have compiled these packages without it.
My comments on the final steps in your instructions, and final questions follow. >> The changelog is more than information; it is critical for debuild >> processing. >> Add something similar to the following at the top (the syntax is very fussy) >> gnucash (2.2.9-0) stable; urgency=high >> * 2.2.6 segfaults with libglib from lenny-backports >> -- John Sullivan <myn...@mycompany.com> Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:18:00 -0500 I added the above three lines to the changelog file as you had them. However when debuild -us -uc was running I noticed flashing by on the monitor a text to the effect that debuild did not like the format. In any event the changelog file did not end up in either package. >> Edit the control file and edit the two Replaces lines so they read: >> Replaces: gnucash-common (<< 2.2.6-3) >> Replaces: gnucash (<< 2.2.6-3) Used 2.2.6-2 instead, because this version is the one in lenny. Version 2.2.6-3 is in Sid. >> Edit the files file so it reads: >> gnucash-common_2.2.9-0_all.deb gnome optional >> gnucash_2.2.9-0_amd64.deb gnome optional Created the files file with only these two lines as you had them, except replaced amd64 with i386. >> debuild will complain about the -0 but I do not want to give it -1 in case >> the real 2.2.9 package is -1 when it is released. I did not notice whether debuild complained about the -0. As for 2.2.9, squeeze has 2.2.9-6. Further questions. 1. Is it now safe do delete directory /download/gnucash? 2. To your knowledge have other Debian Lenny users found gnucash 2.2.6 broken because of the upgrade to libglib2.2.0 from lenny-backports because iceweasel 3.5.10 and acroread I think need it? I ask because I wonder whether the two packages, gnucash_2.2.9-0_i386.deb and gnucash-common_2.2.9-0_all.deb which I compiled would be useful to others. If not, would it be useful to make available off list your instructions with my updates as an odt or pdf file? I would be willing to create such a file, run it by you, and then tell the list that the compilation instructions are available from me to those who ask me for it off list.
