three dependencies for a command line client. In fact, it arguably
needs no dependancies at all.

Alas, because I'm 64 bit and 6.06 LTS and the package is kraut-only
there's zero luck. I'm surprised German gnucash users who needed

I decided to invest 2 hours of a busy day. It did pay off, this time.
It didn't in the last 3 years, and about 10 attempts (I'm not kidding).
I began to dread each attempt of making it work (and contemplating
murdering the developer, the nice guy that he is).
