[GNC] Gnucash crashes after upgrade

[Stephen M. Butler]

Ubuntu 19.04 is out and that is what I have.

Go to this folder on my Google drive: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1j58hHK_2lAKyNhlC4ZNoSNCfuI5Dqc7R
It will have .deb files for v3.4 and v3.5 compiled on Ubuntu 18.10. 
I've heard they work well with 18.04 also.

I have v 3.5 and v3.6 compiled under 19.04 at this location: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-7R0nd6SjgPGNLkdcL_t503KbhLnKVW0

Sorry, I've been too busy with summer projects to get the PPA up and
working.
