Install upgrade from 2.6.1 to any other verison fails

Thu Jan 14 11:47:55 EST 2016

Thanks , I did seenthe newer 2.6.11 version. I haven't tried it yet but I am not confident that it will resolve my issue based on the other 2 versions attempted.
The deb packages I found were from the Getdeb project.amd they do not work in my situation. 
I just want to request that respondents please read what I actually listed as what I already tried, the results of thiose attempts and my question about what to do next.
Thanks for trying to assist me. I really wouldn't want to upgrade if I had a choice since it is working well for my purposes now except for the inability to resize the columns so I can see the totals properly.

I am using the getdeb.net repository and was ecstatic to see 2.6.11 updated

this morning on my Trusty 14.04 LTS systems. They often have absolutely

up-to-date versions for the most current Ubuntu releases (in this case

that's GnuCash 2.6.11 for Ubuntu 15.10 and 14.04).

And a brief plug for the getdeb volunteers: if you appreciate getdeb.net

(like I do), please consider making a donation to defray their server

expenses (as I have).
