The Software Center will install from whatever sources you have
enabled.  If you have enabled getdeb then SC will install from there
if that is where the latest version is.

Open a terminal and run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If that shows errors then copy/paste them here (just the errors, we
don't need the whole lot).
If no errors then
sudo apt-get install gnucash
If you still get errors like the ones above then try
sudo apt-get install -f
