The story there is a little complicated.  I tried to install 2.4 without 
uninstalling 2.2.9.  Then, realizing my mistake, I uninstalled gnucash (2.2.9) 
using Synaptic.  I followed up with a purge using dpkg, which removed the 
configuration files.

No, but I did use sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash to deal with dependencies.  
That got me past a bunch of config errors.  I didn't add any other packages to 
deal with dependencies.

pwa at Asus-laptop:~/Downloads/bsdiff/gnucash-2.4.0$ ls -l $(which gnucash)

I hope this helps.
