Hi,

I had the same problem, so I stayed with 2.6.1 until this new release,
2.6.11. I decided to give it another try.

What I did:
- uninstall GC 2.6.1 via software center (I installed it from there);
- sudo apt-get remove --purge aqbanking*
- sudo apt-get remove --purge guile*
- followed Jonh's recomendation and removed folder .cache/guile;
- installed getdeb repository via software center, using their deb
package;
- sudo apt-get update
- installed GC via software center using their deb package;
Every thing is running perfectly;

Hope this helps you. I should say that I'm a fairly new Linux user and
this all is still a bit confusing to me, but it did work, check it out:



I use Ubuntu 14.01 LTS in a old 32 bit machine.

Regards,
Pedro.
