[GNC-dev] Debian files

[Stephen M. Butler]

Looking for someone more knowledgeable than I.  Where did I go wrong?

I uninstalled my locally built gnucash (sudo make uninstall) and cleaned
the system (sudo apt autoremove) then started with these debian files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 13140 Jan 20 20:16 gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 13116 Jan 20 20:16 gnucash-common_3.4_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 13016 Jan 20 20:16 python3-gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb


Note:  Lines starting with 'SMB: ' are my comments.

Note:  Lines starting with '--> ' are commands fed to the system.  Other
lines are resulting output.

SMB: And gnucash works.  So why didn't installing the debian package work?
