Isn't that the point of a PUBLIC key? Now, of course I'm not going to respond with personal data unless I can verify that the requester's address is on a list of known Gnucash developers, but anyone is welcome to email me securely. In fact, I prefer it. Sent via [1]BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox for Android

The import seemed to progress normally, up until the "Match Transactions" stage.

At the time of the import I was running Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29) on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS in a homebuilt machine with AMD FX-4100 CPU, 8 GB RAM, and an ASUS M5A88-M motherboard and using the SQLite3 backend. >> >> I opened a Bugzilla account and reported this (Bug 797651), but as reconstructing this may mean sharing my personal financial data I restricted the view access to the developer list. I have reconstructed my working account file from my backup, so there's been no loss of critical data. I'm sharing this for visibility and to ask if there is any additional information I should provide in the bug report to facilitate a permanent resolution to this problem.
