After that I did an actual install.
It ran fine.

$ gnucash


Notice

Your gnucash metadata has been migrated .

Old location: /home/liz/.gnucash
New location: /home/liz/.local/share/gnucash

If you no longer intend to run GnuCash 2.6.x or older on this system
you can safely remove the old directory.
Found Finance::Quote version 1.47
Gtk-Message: 13:33:57.682: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.
This is discouraged.



With that info, I suggest that you run

sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -fix-missing

and then 

sudo apt install -s gnucash
to simulate the install 

Odd situations like yours can occur when you run apt update on a Sunday
and the mirrors are not synchronised (well that's my experience over
many years)
