[GNC] GC won't load on Ubuntu 19.04

[Stephen M. Butler]

I built the debian package for GnC 3.5 while on Ubuntu 18.04.  I since
upgraded to 19.04 and found that GnC worked for me.  Since then I've
been unable to build the debian package for GnC 3.5 on 19,04.  I am
still working through the issues.

Others have indicated that the debian packages built under 18.04 will
not install on 19.04 (though they will install under 18.10 and earlier).

I have not tried to compile GnC 3.5 on my box outside of building the
debian package.  That may be my next step to ensure I can at least
compile and install locally.

Sorry I have so many other projects also demanding my time.  So far,
current technology indicates it will take 20-25 years to grow a viable
clone (or two).
