Hello fellow users of GnuCash,


At the end of the day, I am wondering if there will be a *.deb, PPA or 
alike for GnuCash on Debian/Ubuntu in the (near) future? As a non-techie 
I am trying to build GnuCash 4.6 from source, but at the end I am stuck 
at the optionals aqbanking and gwenhywfar. As I am not living the 
Germany, these two are indeed optional for me. I started this day with 
doing a fresh install of Mint 20.2, and rewriting my script for other 
useful software, like GIMP, Vivaldi, and Zotero.


But in case I am just so close with my first build on a fresh Mint 20.2, 
then any help is welcome. I am stuck with aqbanking and gwenhywfar, and 
my situation is as follows:

Failing in building GnuCash 4.6:
     user at computer: ~/Downloads/Script/gnucash-4.6/build$ cmake ..
     CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:251 (message):

But I have both aqbanking and gwenhywfar already installed:
      user at computer:~$ aqbanking-cli  versions

old settings folder, need initial setup
Versions:
AqBanking-CLI: 6.0.1
Gwenhywfar   : 5.7.2.0
AqBanking    : 6.0.1.0

As I have TimeShift enabled, I can go back in time A) per hour, and B) 
jump back to a fresh and up to date m20.2.


Anyhow, will there be a package soon, and what am I doing wrong?
