  Sometimes the gnucash package gets out of sync with the libgal and libgtkhtml packages.  These two packages have been changing quite often.  If you send a polite e-mail to debian's gnucash package maintainer I'm sure he will recompile it so it works with the new dependencies.  
  Or you could `apt-get source gnucash` and run 'deb-make' after installing libgal11 and libgtkhtml15.  I had to do this once and it worked without a problem.
