Those should be part of:

Let me try to cleanup the commands (just 5 lines all beging with "sudo ")-- just in case line wrapping happens: sudo apt remove gnucash sudo apt autoremove sudo dpkg -i Downloads/gnucash_3.4-0-1_amd64.deb sudo apt install libboost-filesystem1.65.1 libboost-date-time1.65.1 libboost-locale1.65.1 libboost-regex1.65.1 sudo apt-mark hold gnucash // >> However, I always land up where I started.

Probably name it "gnucash-daily", although I don't see it changing daily but as commits are made to the maint branch. However, I am having problems with one of the tools (pbuilder-dest) and have a query out in the Ubuntu Forums for input. Nothing back when I checked a minute ago. I suspect I'm going to have to read the code (shell script) for pbuild-dest and the debootstrap script it invokes (also shell script). The later complains that gpgv can't be found -- but I can invoke it just fine. I am comfortable in ksh and hope that transfers well to bsh. Wish I had better news and was making progress to get something really useful. My research indicates the check-install is not up to the task of dealing with multiple O/S version. >> -- >> Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM >> stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com >> kg...@arrl.net >> 253-350-0166 >> ------------------------------------------- >> GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
