Yes, on Debian there was a 1.9.6-3 package that fixed it all.
I have no clue about the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu.
You can always just grab the file from the 1.9.6 sources and install

g-wrap is a system that wraps C code for use in guile.  Guile is scheme,
a scripting language..  Used thoroughly throughout GnuCash.
