Thanks for the hints, Adrien, but when I tried to upgrade that, I got a similar error:
--- The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-gnucash : Depends: python3 (>= 3.7~) but 3.5.3-1 is to be installed E: Broken packages --- I don't have to worry about migrating an old set of accounts as the previous work was experimental and that entity has moved on. So I would be starting fresh with a new set of accounts. Sadly, I'm not much of a geek in *nix, I'm more of a dangerous user - I know enough to get me into trouble :-) so these dependencies have me flummoxed Regards, John On Sat, 22 Aug 2020 at 00:18, Adrien Monteleone < [email protected]> wrote: > I believe > > python3-gnucash > > is what you need. > > I have an installation of Mint 20 with GnuCash 3.8 from its repos and > that is the corresponding package which got installed. > > Be certain to read over the Wiki FAQ about upgrading.
