[GNC] Problems upgrading to 4.8a

[Geert Janssens]

A bug (https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798672[1]) was opened reporting this 
same issue, which prompted me to look at it again.

I think I have found the cause of the issue this time and added a fix to our source code. It 
should be fixed for gnucash 4.13. If you can build for yourself from source, you could 
apply this minor change:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/
98251d59a6e6940efae2001a1e619c08828c8738[2]

Otherwise, you can monitor the bugs on the Ubuntu bug tracker (which the original poster 
added to our own bug report mentioned above) and/or poke the package maintainers to 
apply the fix earlier.

Regards,

Geert
