I don't use the tax report so I cannot verify that problem, but there are
enough kinks in 2.6.1 you might want to consider downloading GnuCash 2.6.4
and building it yourself, or using the appropriate binaries for your system
from GetDeb.net.

THAT SAID, I see some vaguely familiar looking errors. For folks who cannot
open GnuCash at all, there's a Guile bug that causes crashes, and maybe in
your system it only bit that one report. You MIGHT try the workaround for
it https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764821

Try closing GnuCash, delete the directory
    ~/.cache/guile/ccache/
and reopen GnuCash. Guile will rebuild the items in the cache directory.
You only need to do this once after an upgrade.

Please report back to the list (not just me) if that fixes the problem with
the report. It may not, but it's far easier than the other options!
