First, here are the locations of libgtest.a on my system:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtest.a
/home/steve/Projects/GnuCash/build/common/test-core/libgtest.a
/home/steve/Projects/GnuCash/chrislam/.build/common/test-core/libgtest.a

1.  Removed ./debian/gnucash-common.info

2.  Made the change noted above on line 137 in
./common/cmake_modules/GncAddTest.cmake

I have a debian package for 3.5 as built in 19.04 (Disco).
