Install upgrade from 2.6.1 to any other verison fails

Thu Jan 14 19:46:35 EST 2016

Thanks Pedro, it was the solution I was trying to avoid but I suspect it will be the best.
Just to verify, when you opened your books with the new version,did any of the setup you originally created) (eg. Scheduled transactions, accounts you set up, etc...) go away or was all your original setup properly migrated?

	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.
