Tor, you absolutely must install g-wrap 1.9.6-3  from Ubuntu.

There is no way 1.9.6-2 will work with gnucash because of the missing file. 
See this bug report in Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323462
(It was a packaging bug specific to gnucash's use of guile (i.e. too old) and 
fails because gnucash does not yet use the new-style G-Wrap wrappers.)

1.9.6-3 IS in Ubuntu Universe:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/interpreters/g-wrap

Upgrade and this will fix the problem.

You need 1.9.6-3

g-wrap 1.9.6-2 in Ubuntu is almost the same as 1.9.6-2 in Debian - Tor's 
report exactly matches the output I had when I reported the bug in g-wrap 
packaging.

Ubuntu generally incorporates it's package updates from the main Debian 
archives - a proportion are patched for the differences between Debian and 
Ubuntu - and the process is quite fast. It is similar to Debian in that the 
latest versions of all packages are always made available on a rolling basis.

e.g. libqof1 0.6.1 is already in Ubuntu less than 10 days after being uploaded 
to Debian unstable.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libqof1

Sorry for any delay.
