gnucash or gnucash2?  The former's pretty old.

The issue isn't particular to gnucash.  In this case the issue is
probably that the humongous dep tree for gnucash(2) has packages that
depend on different db versions.  The shared libraries do coexist, but
the build-time packages have to conflict/replace each other, and in a
batch situation with multiple packages it's possible to have them step
on another.

You might have to install different pieces of the dependency tree
separately.
