[GNC] Installing 3.5 deb packages on Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo

[Colin Law]

I can confirm that Stephen's deb files don't work with Ubuntu 19.04.
To remove the half installed packages you can run
sudo apt remove gnucash-common gnucash python3-gnucash
sudo apt autoremove

So perhaps there is now this odd situation where newer distros which don’t have newer GC versions still have to build from source, because the pre-built versions are targeting a lower release. (19.04 *does* contain 3.4 however in it’s repos)
