Do you see any errors from
sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

How did you install gnucash and what do the following commands show
which gnucash
apt-cache policy gnucash

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 =
