[GNC] GNC Fails to load Data File

[David H]

Bruce,

Did you have a previous Debian install of gnucash - maybe try
uninstalling and re-installing the debian version - perhaps following the
uninstall instructions at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Uninstall_Gnucash_Linux ...  You could also
see if restarting solves anything.

Why would you go back from probably the latest version available in Flatpak
(4.10) to a version that's almost 18 months old (4.4) and 6 major releases
ago with a lot of bug fixes and enhancements in between ?  Personally I
would have stuck with the Flatpak version which obviously worked.  If the
Flatpak sandboxing is causing an issue for you perhaps you should consider
compiling it yourself ?

Cheers David H.
