I have a Cosmic VM handy so I tested the Disco .deb via “dpkg -i” and here was the result:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gnucash: gnucash depends on gnucash-common (= 1:3.4-1); however: Package gnucash-common is not installed. gnucash depends on libboost-regex1.67.0 (>= 1.67.0-10); however: Package libboost-regex1.67.0 is not installed. gnucash depends on libicu63 (>= 63.1-1~); however: Package libicu63 is not installed. gnucash depends on libpython3.7 (>= 3.7.0); however: Package libpython3.7 is not installed. gnucash depends on libfinance-quote-perl; however: Package libfinance-quote-perl is not installed. gnucash depends on libhtml-tableextract-perl; however: Package libhtml-tableextract-perl is not installed. dpkg: error processing package gnucash (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured I did an ‘apt search’ on the missing dependencies with the following results: gnucash-common, libicu63 (“International Components for Unicode”) and the required version of libboost-regex1.67.0 are not in Cosmic, you’ll need to download them from Disco. gnucash-common: https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/gnucash-common libicu63: https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/libicu63 libboost-regex1.67.0: https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/libboost-regex1.67.0 Download those files, but do not install them yet. First, install these: sudo apt libfinance-quote-perl libhtml-tableextract-perl libpython3.7 libpython3.7-minimal libpython3.7-stdlib (those last two are dependencies of libpython3.7 and are in Cosmic) *adjust the following package names for your architecture: Then install libboost-regex1.67.0: sudo dpkg -i libboost-regex1.67.0_1.67.0-11_amd64.deb Then install libicu63: sudo dpkg -i libicu63_63.1-5_amd64.deb Then instal gnucash-common: sudo dpkg -i gnucash-common_3.4-1_all.deb Then finally, install gnucash: sudo dpkg -i gnucash_3.4-1_amd64.deb ------ Note that I went in reverse as I was trying to find and then install the dependencies, so at some point, I got the advice from apt to try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ which pulled in libfinance-quote-perl libhtml-tableextract-perl libpython3.7 libpython3.7-minimal libpython3.7-stdlib as the rest was already installed but not completely configured. Now, GC still doesn’t run and I’m getting an error: gnucash: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_date_time.so.1.58.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I recall someone encountered that in the *.deb thread, so I’ll go look there to see if there was a resolution. This file doesn’t appear to be in any ubuntu repos. Regards, Adrien > On Jan 3, 2019, at 3:46 PM, Stephen M. Butler <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks.
