[GNC] GnC 3.5 for Disco

[Eric Coates]

Stephan

Although I???m about to relate some problems I???ve had with your GnuCash 
3.5 on Ubuntu 19.04 before I do I want to say that I appreciate your 
efforts (and those of your ???hand holders???!) on providing tools to the 
community. Sincerely, thank you.

My situation is that I upgraded to 19.04 just two or three weeks ago and 
I don???t think I???ve done anything of such significance as to screw up the 
system. I was running GnuCash 3.4 (the default in 19.04) but hit 
problems (discussed elsewhere). Your solution seemed to be a gift from 
heaven.

The first two Terminal commands (which with the third, I think, need to 
be run in the Downloads/gnucash_3.5 folder) ran with no problems but the 
third gave the following output:

/eric at Magus-4:~/Downloads/gnucash_3.5$ sudo apt install ./*3.5*.deb/

/The following packages have unmet dependencies./

/Depends: python3 (< 3.7) but 3.7.3-1 is to be installed/

/E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages./

Although my wife would probably disagree, I???m reasonably good at 
following instructions but those error messages left me somewhat 
baffled. I???ve done some investigations using Synaptic with the following 
results:

 ?????? There appears to be no libicu60 available, but libicu63 (version 
63.1-6) is installed

 ?????? There appears to be no libpython3.6 available, but libpython3.7 
(version 3.7.3-2) is installed

 ?????? gnucash-docs is installed (as version 3.4-1)

 ?????? A search for libpythone3-gnucash (and libpython3-gnucash) give no 
results

 ?????? python3 (at version 3.7.3-1) is installed

 ?????? Selecting ???Custom Filters??? and the ???Broken??? category shows no entries

To my untutored eyes, it looks as if my system is too ???advanced??? - but 
what do I know.

Can you indicate how I may proceed - without my GnuCash I can???t spend 
any money!

Best wishes

Eric
