Excellent question! Probably not. But then, I have some success this afternoon (US West Coast). I did the following and it worked for me. I've uploaded the three deb files (along with the ddeb and changes, etc) to: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fV_fURy6c77e7gf6S41lTacM7dFyy7VD I still need to figure out how to package this for Launchpad -- but I think I just crossed over the biggest hurdle. Besides, how else am I supposed to learn this stuff? <<grin>> Items I see still need to be done: 1. Script the steps I made so I can automate it and avoid typing mistakes. 2. Push to launchpad so they can rebuild it. Probably not worth it -- but it feels good to have accomplished this so far! steve@SteveLaptop:~/Projects/GnuCash$ /*ls -Fal *.deb*/ -rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 3901212 Jan 23 14:29 gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 5027024 Jan 23 14:29 gnucash-common_3.4_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 268880 Jan 23 14:29 python3-gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb steve@SteveLaptop:~/Projects/GnuCash$ */sudo apt install ./*.deb/* [sudo] password for steve: Reading package lists...
