GnuCash 4.8, Build ID 4.8a+(2021-09-28)  I installed it from Ubuntu 
repository.

My operating system is Kubuntu 22.04

I've been running this version of gnucash for several years, since it 
became available via Ubuntu.

I agree that it shouldn't take this long...  It's now been several hours 
more!
