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.
Thanks,
Ken Hendrickson

Dear Ken,
I just re-visited some old, but yet not fixed Debian bug reports and
found your report #565697 (alias #565704) with summary "GnuCash Fails on
Fresh Debian Lenny Install". Its content is essentially:
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. :-(
No such problems have been reported for the Debian Squeeze package. So,
given that the current stable release is Squeeze, I believe that your
report is obsolete now.
Additionally I just tried to reproduce your issue using a fresh
installation from a Debian Lenny 5.0.8 netinst CD-ROM image. And
unfortunately I was unable to reproduce a dying Gnucash, as you
described it.
Hence I deliberately decided to close this bug report. In case you
disagree, please re-open it and provide more detailed information.
Regards,
Micha
P.S.: The issue regarding Finance::Quote was handled in Debian bug #490395.
