Upgrade to Gutsy 7.10 Broke gnucash

Over the weekend, I upgraded to Gutsy 7.10 from Feisty 7.04.  I have 
been using gnucash 2.0.5 (I think) for awhile without any problems. 
After the upgrade, it stopped working.  I installed gnucash through the 
synaptic package manager (2.2.1-ubuntu4) thinking that there was a 
conflict of some sort.  This did not help.  Running gnucash-bin from the 
command line generates the following error:

gnucash-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgoffice-0.so.3: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Searching for libgoffice-0.so.3 in the package contents for gutsy turns 
up nothing, but it shows up in the feisty package called libgoffice-0-3.

Here is the output from a couple of commands:

$ ldd /usr/bin/gnucash-bin
...
libgoffice-0.so.4 => /usr/lib/libgoffice-0.so.4 (0xb6a72000)
...

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libgoff*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      21 2007-05-16 16:46

/usr/local/lib/gnucash/libgoffice-1.so.0.0.4

Next, I uninstalled gnucash, again through synaptic.  Strangely, when I 
run gnucash now, I get the same error as before.  I was expecting 
command not found.

I really have no clue. Any suggestions?
