Although I???m about to relate some problems I???ve had with your GnuCash
3.5 on Ubuntu 19.04 before I do I want to say that I appreciate your
efforts (and those of your ???hand holders???!) on providing tools to the
community. Sincerely, thank you.
My situation is that I upgraded to 19.04 just two or three weeks ago and
I don???t think I???ve done anything of such significance as to screw up the
system. I was running GnuCash 3.4 (the default in 19.04) but hit
problems (discussed elsewhere). Your solution seemed to be a gift from
heaven.
The first two Terminal commands (which with the third, I think, need to
be run in the Downloads/gnucash_3.5 folder) ran with no problems but the
third gave the following output:
/eric@Magus-4:~/Downloads/gnucash_3.5$ sudo apt install ./*3.5*.deb/

/The following information may help to resolve the situation:/
/The following packages have unmet dependencies./
/gnucash : Depends: libicu60 (>= 60.1-1~) but it is not installable/
/Depends: libpython3.6 (>= 3.6.5) but it is not installable/
/Recommends: gnucash-docs but it is not going to be installed/
/Recommends: pythone3-gnucash but it is not installable/
/python3-gnucash : Depends: libpython3.6 (>= 3.6.5) but it is not
installable/
/Depends: python3 (< 3.7) but 3.7.3-1 is to be installed/
/E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages./
/eric@Magus-4:~/Downloads/gnucash_3.5$ /
Although my wife would probably disagree, I???m reasonably good at
following instructions but those error messages left me somewhat
baffled. I???ve done some investigations using Synaptic with the following
results:
?????? There appears to be no libicu60 available, but libicu63 (version
63.1-6) is installed
?????? There appears to be no libpython3.6 available, but libpython3.7
(version 3.7.3-2) is installed
?????? gnucash-docs is installed (as version 3.4-1)
?????? A search for libpythone3-gnucash (and libpython3-gnucash) give no
results
?????? python3 (at version 3.7.3-1) is installed
?????? Selecting ???Custom Filters??? and the ???Broken??? category shows no
entries
To my untutored eyes, it looks as if my system is too ???advanced??? - but
what do I know.
Can you indicate how I may proceed - without my GnuCash I can???t spend
any money!
Best wishes
Eric
