sudo apt install gnucash

and what is shown by
> apt-cache policy gnucash

apt-cache policy gnucash
gnucash:
   Installed: 1:3.2-1
   Candidate: 1:3.2-1
   Version table:
  *** 1:3.2-1 180
         180 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      1:2.6.15-1 160
         160 http://deb.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages

ll /usr/bin/gnucash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35888 Jul  4 04:21 /usr/bin/gnucash

With above done I get the error.

=================================================================================================
To use gnucash, I go back to packages from the past:

For the last working version, I install by
dpkg -i gnucash_1%3a2.6.14-1_amd64.deb gnucash-common_1%3a2.6.14-1_all.deb

with the above 2.6.14 version installed:

apt-cache policy gnucash
gnucash:
   Installed: 1:2.6.14-1
   Candidate: 1:2.6.14-1
   Version table:
      1:3.2-1 180
         180 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
      1:2.6.15-1 160
         160 http://deb.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
  *** 1:2.6.14-1 1100
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status



Thanks for thinking about this,
