I reran and yes there are some errors:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.

I'm using Mint 17.2 with cinnamon. Do I need to do something different? 
My understanding is Mint is based on Ubuntu.

apt-cache says this:
gnucash:
   Installed: 1:2.6.1-2
   Candidate: 1:2.6.1-2
   Version table:
  *** 1:2.6.1-2 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 
Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
N: Ignoring file 'getdeb.list.bck' in directory 
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
