Package: gnucash
Package: finance::quote
Package: f::q
Executive Summary:
Solution found to GnuCash failure on fresh install of Debian Lenny 5.0.3.
Problem:
GnuCash fails upon a fresh install of Debian Lenny 5.0.3.
Program initially dies upon startup. Works after reinstall. WTF ???
But finance::quotes still doesn't work.
A Solution to the finance::quotes problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490395#22
I have implemented the above change, and it works. It may not be the best
solution, but it is a solution. (I don't know what else it might break.)
Gentlemen, if this solution was known 1.5 years ago, back in July of 2008, then
why is it still happening on a fresh install of Debian Lenny 5.0.3 ??
What does this "solution" break? Anything? Is this solution acceptable?
If this is a good solution, can we please get it committed to the official
Debian sources?
Nothing should be broken in Debian stable out of the box!!!
Thank you for your attention to solving this *very old* problem,
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report is obsolete now.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.
