Hi Tommy,
Thanks for the Debian suggestion - I'm giving it a go.
I was using the xenial clearlooks-phenix-theme package and tried under the
Unity,Gnome Flashback Compiz and Gnome Flashback Metacity desktops,
but the black titlebar with white text under both flashback dektops, and
the orange graphics under Unity, are just not consistent enough with most
of the screen images already in the documentation.
I've installed Debian 8.5.0 and figured out how to use synaptic, and add the
getdeb Ubuntu wily 15.10 repository (as Gnucash is not available from
GetDeb for Ubuntu xenial 16.04 yet), but now I find I cannot install the
getdeb GnuCash 2.6.12 due to 3 libraries that are too old:
libaqbanking35 (only 34 is available from stable Debian repo)
libaqbanking35-plugins (only 34 available)
libktoblzcheck1v1 (only 1c2a available)
Can anyone please tell me what is the latest available version of GnuCash
available from getdeb which will run in Debian 8.5.0 without having to
recompile some libraries?
I'd prefer not to have to use GnuCash 2.6.4 from the Debian stable repos.
Or can I somehow tell synaptic to ignore library version compatibility?
I'm not intending to use this in anger, just for getting correctly themed
screen dumps for the documentation updates I'm doing.
Regards,
Chris Good
