You need to install libofx3 as well, but maybe there is something else,
too. 

8.04 is WAY different from previous Ubuntu releases, and it's still
cooking.  I've maintained my 7.10 installation in which GnuCash works
fine, so I guess I'll wait it out, however, I will file a bug against
8.10 in the morning just to get the problem on the official record.
