[GNC] Gnucash crashes after upgrade

[David Carlson]

You mentioned that Ubuntu upgraded a few times.  Does that mean that you
are no longer on release 16.04?
That release is very stale today.
If not 16.04, what release are you on?

There is currently a flatpak release of GnuCash 3.6 available, but it has
limitations that makes it unsuited for some users.

Release 3.7 should be coming out next month, but how and when it will be
available for whichever Linux version you are running now may be later.
