[GNC] Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya and Gnucash 3.2

[David Cousens]

Colin,
My take on that is that it is an issue with the flatpak maintainers for
GnuCash not having built the flatpak version with the required database
support. Ned Richards does not seem to be contactable directly and the
last commit was 4/7/18. Until he or the other maintainer responds there
is little anyone can do apart from fork their repository and add the
additional support. Looking at the files there, they look like they are
a few files specific to gnucash that feed into the system for building
tha flatpaks.
 It may be easier to build V3.2 with that support from the source code.
I tried to cover it in the instructions on the wiki using the notes
that were previously there but I don't use the sql backends at all so i
haven't been able to check whether they did cover everything. I'm
currently setting up to build Gnucash on Linux Mint 19 and am finding a
few dependencies I had missed  because they were already installed on
my previous system before I started buidling GnuCash.
