Install upgrade from 2.6.1 to any other verison fails

[Neal]

Ubuntu 14,04
GNUCash 2,6,1

Hi
I recently tried to update my version of GNUCash 2.6.1 to 2.6.10. The
initial install got very messy and basically destroyed GNUCash on my
machine. It took a few hours, reinstalling modules that the reinstall said
were missing (e.g AQBanking, libdbd (Sqlite3, MySql) and the gnucash-common
was wrong so I had to reinstall gnucash-common 2.6.1.
Well, I finally got it back to where it was prior to these efforts at 2.6.1.
I still want to update it as I cannot see my last column for my accounts
because of a column size adjustment bug that is fixed in an ensuing version.
I downloaded the deb packages for 2 different version, 2.6.6 and 2.6.10.
Using Ubuntu Sofware Centre, when I try to install 2.6.10, I get an error -
"Breaks existing package 'gnucash' dependency gnucash-common (=1:2.6.1.2)".
I also tried to install 2.6.6 which gives me a different error "Dependency
is not satisfiable: gnucash (=1:2.6.6-2ubuntu1)".
I am no expert, not even close, but it seems to me that I am in a classic
catch22 situation. It seems that the program wants me to not replace the
gnucash-common version because it might break the existing gnucash version
but if I update gnucash-common to 2.6.10, it will expect to see
gnucash-common 2.6.1 (tried it).
Would a dpkg install of 2.6.10 with ignore breaks and dependency work here?
I don't want to again go through the painful process of recovering my older
version of 2.6.1
Thanks in advance for any assistance and btw, other than this little issue,
this program easily does a great job.

Neal
