You have 2 options:
1) Download libtldl3 from Experimental (you can do this from the
Debian Packages webpage, by specifying All where it asks for
Distribution in the Search package directories section) and install
it using dpkg. Then install gnucash (you should get 1.8.9);
2) Apt-pin libltdl3 and libltdl3-dev to show only version 1.5.2. This
will allow you to use gnucash 1.8.8. You will then have to find
that version of those two in the Debian system. This is not as
easy, but can be done. I'd send you my copies, but apt wiped them
out, so I'm running on the binaries only.
If you don't know about apt-pinning, I include below an amended copy of my
/etc/apt/preferences:
Package: libltdl3
Pin: version 1.5.2
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: libltdl3-dev
Pin: version 1.5.2
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 100
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 400
Hope this helps.
