it is correct, indeed. But we both have been a bit lazy :)

The dep chain is:
g-wrap (=1.9.6-3)
libgwrap-runtime0-dev (= 1.9.6-3)
libgwrap-runtime0 (= 1.9.6-3)
libffi4 (>= 4.0.2)
gcc-4.0-base (= 4.0.2-7ubuntu1)

I am sorry, I did not see the libgwrap-runtime0 dependency, though
it is quite obvious :)

Feel free to join #gnucash. Building from svn works for me, GnuCash
1.8 indeed seems to got broken in the last update.
