Hello Colin,
Thanks so much for your quick reply.

To answer your questions. 1. No errors on update or dist-upgrade. 2. I 
installed from the repository's using synaptic.
3. which gnucash = usr/bin/gnucash. 4. apt-cache policy gnucash = 
Installed: 1:2.6.12-1
   Candidate: 1:2.6.12-1
   Version table:
  *** 1:2.6.12-1 500
         500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 
Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Hopefully this will throw some light on my problem.

I tried to open gnucash after doing the update and dist-upgrade, but no joy.
