I'm still trying to update, and 24 hours later am still getting the "Could
not open socket" message.

I deleted the two obsolete releases of Ubuntu (didn't trigger CAPTCHA) BUT
I am still trying to add the information for Ubuntu 17.10.

If someone with edit rights to the wiki could go to the page

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu

and paste the markup below at the correct spot (above 17.04) and let me
know whether you get the same error.


=== Ubuntu 17.10 ("Artful Aardvark") ===

GnuCash 2.6.17 is included in Ubuntu 17.10, released October 2017
