Sorry, I didn't state the issue properly. The distribution/release I'm
using is Ubuntu Dapper.  Though based on Debian there are differences in
the way Ubuntu names some packages.  Also it looks like some packages
use a different versioning scheme.  Some of the pkgs required by
Debian's Gnucash 2 are these.  

For years I had been using Debian unstable and then started mixing in
Ubuntu packages that were missing from Debian or newer.  It just got to
be too messy so I decided on just Ubuntu (I like Debian, a tough
decision).  I'd rather not get drift back into that situation.

This is what I get from dpkg trying to install Debian's gnucash:

Selecting previously deselected package gnucash-common.
(Reading database ... 148585 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gnucash-common (from gnucash-common_1.9.7-1_all.deb) ...
