I have installed 3.4 onto another Ubuntu 18.10 and can confirm Tim
Kallmer's findings as to the additional packages that need to be
installed. I have noticed one other slight complication, that Ubuntu
seems to think that the version from the deb (3.4-0-1) is earlier than
the version from the repo (1:3.3-2), possibly due to the 1: on the
front. The result is that updating the system wants to update gnucash
back to 3.3. The solution to that is to mark it as held so that it
won't be upgraded.
So to install on Ubuntu 18.10 from the deb first download it from
Stephen's Drive
https://drive.google.com/open?id=172BMIvLgD7twcGEWkR5GcddoZ_A4QWfY to,
for example Downloads, then run
sudo apt remove gnucash
sudo apt autoremove
sudo dpkg -i Downloads/gnucash_3.4-0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install libboost-filesystem1.65.1 libboost-date-time1.65.1
libboost-locale1.65.1 libboost-regex1.65.1
sudo apt-mark hold gnucash
and you should be good to go. Thanks again to Stephen Butler for
providing this.
