Hi,

This is a known bug in gnucash 2.6.1, which has been fixed in more recent releases. 
Unfortunately that's what Ubuntu 14.04 has chosen as base version. Please use getdeb to 
upgrade to at least 2.6.6 (but even better to 2.6.11 or 2.6.12) as soon as you can.

These lot links are part of the new credit note feature in gnucash 2.6.x. The early versions 
(2.6.1-2.6.4) used it too much though. So again, please upgrade to gnucash 2.6.6 or higher as 
soon as possible. Then run Check & Repair on your A/R and A/P accounts to clean up most of 
the lot links. More details on this issue can be found here [1].

Geert
