[hardy] gnucash depends on unavailable libgoffice version.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Can you please advise which Ubuntu version (i.e. feisty or gutsy) you are using?
Please run the command:
$ uname -a

in a terminal window and paste the complete result in your response.

Can you also provide the version of gnucash you installed? You can know this by typing this on a terminal :

apt-cache policy gnucash

I am running current hardy.

$ apt-cache policy gnucash
gnucash:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.2.1-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
     2.2.1-1ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages

Thanks for this information. Can you also tells what processor architecture you are using? i386? x64? PPC? I do know that libgoffice dependencies are still not ready in ubuntu repositories for PPC so that could explain this problem.

Sorry!

My diagnosis is that gnucash needs to be rebuild to use libgoffice-0-5
instead of libgoffice-0-4, since libgoffice-0-4 is not around any more.
It didn't occur to me that this would differ so much between architectures.

Very plausible. I'll look into this in the next hours, once I've got one Virtualbox console under Hardy. It's clearly just a dependency problem which should be fixed very quickly assuming that the dependencies are available and compatible. Thanks a lot for this bug report.

libgoffice-0-5 is now in Hardy but the stable release is still libgoffice-0-4 which isn't available through repositories since a few days. libgoffice-0-4 should re-appear in ubuntu repositories in few days. I'll keep watching this bug report in the next days.

libgoffice-0-4 is back again in the repositories. Gnucash can now be installed without problems. I set the status of this bug to fix released. Thanks again for your bug report and for the time you took to make ubuntu better!

FYI, gnucash 2.2.2 allows building against libgoffice 0.5.

Thomas Bushnell plan to update gnucash to 2.2.2 version in debian ( no promise that it will be in a short time ). I think that we can wait for it since libgoffice-0-5 seems to be pretty new.
