No, but if it worked before and it doesn't now, they've screwed something up. They're between you and us, and it's their job to make sure that their packages work together.

That's your job.

Search their bug tracker for your problem to see if it has already been reported. If you find one, add a comment saying that you're experiencing the problem too. If there isn't one already, file your own report, including as much information about what happened as you can.

If you can't get them to fix it, switch to another distro. There are lots to choose from. (But don't pick SuSE, they broke Gnucash 2.4.9 too, by gratuitously setting the wrong Guile version as a dependency.)
