2.6.3 from GetDeb crashing on Ubuntu 14.04

[Ronal Morse]

I reported previously that the remove>purge>reinstall the getdeb package 
of 2.6.3 had resolved the application hang on closing problem with 
Ubuntu 14.4 64-bit on my computer. That was true until last night when 
the problem manifest again.

I installed the Gnucash package from the repository for the next version 
of Ubuntu (14.10) this morning.  It has worked well through five 
open/close cycles, some transaction downloads, a security price update 
and the printing of a couple of reports. I don't know if it has fully 
resolved the problem (won't make that leap, again) but so far so good...

0.  Make a safety copy of the Gnucash data file and any custom check and 
report formats/templates you may have installed. They should survive 
into the new installation of the Gnucash package, but having a good 
backup will insure they do.

1.  Remove the existing GnuCash and associated settings files (sudo 
apt-get purge gnucash)

2. Remove existing GnuCash dependencies (sudo apt-get autoremove)

3. download Guncash 2.6.3 from the Ubuntu 14.10 package repository 
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/amd64/gnucash/download)

4. download Gnucash-common from 14.10 repository 
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/gnucash-common)

5. Install gnucash-common (doubleclick on the download should start the 
package installer, gnucash-common must precede gnucash)

6. Install gnucash

The installer did not require, request, ask for or demand any other 
downloads to satisfy dependencies on my installation. If, however, it 
should tell you that it requires another file to install gnucash, you 
should be able to download it from the Utopic package repository.  Make 
sure to check the version carefully to ensure the dependency will be 
satisfied, install that package (repeat if necessary with other files) 
and try the Gnucash install again.

Good luck
