Further to my two previous posts in this threat -- so far the only posts
to it -- my GnuCash 2.2.6-2 worked on 2010-06-30; but on 2010-07-04
- --the next time tried to use it -- it was broken.  The one other thing I
did on 2010-07-04, was to upgrade several Debian Lenny packages.

One of the packages upgraded then is required for GnuCash 2.2.6-2,
libglib2.0-0.  That version of GnuCash calls for a libglib2.0-0 version
equal or higher than 2.16.0; whereas the upgrade installed from
lenny-backports version 2.22.4-1.  So I wonder whether this version of
libglib2.0-0 is too advanced for GnuCash 2.2.6-0 and so prevents it from
running.

As I see it I have two options:

1.  Somehow reinstall the 2.16.0 version of libglib2.0-0, to see whether
GnuCash will install again (but may break other packages which require
the later version); or

2. Compile from source GnuCash the latest stable version 2.2.9, to see
whether it will deign to run with version 2.22.4-1 of libglib2.0-0.

Any thoughts, comments, recommendations from anybody?
