The beta of the next version of Ubuntu is released...and the 
libgtkhtml versioning issue remains unresolved. GnuCash 
2.0.3 from the Ubuntu repository won't install, either, 
indicating a broken package.  

As it stands now, anyone who depends upon GnuCash for 
anything will not be able to upgrade until this is 
resolved. 

After a protracted fight involving the sacrifice of several 
small animals (cooincidentally solving the neighborhood cat 
problem) I installed the 2.0.5 .deb from Geole (thanks 
guys!) onto Kubuntu 7.0.4 (Beta). The major hurdle was 
finding copies of libgtkhtml 3.8-15_3.13.6-2 and libofx2c2a 
(needed to replace libofx3) to satisfy dependency calls 
that could not met through repository.
