-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been using GNU Cash for my personal accounting. Upgraded to Fiesty, but now I can't use GNU Cash. Turns out its not installed the installer removed it...

On trying to install it with synaptic it gives me a "Dependency" error, so I switch to the smarter "aptitude install gnucash".

That fails, with the following message:

The following packages are BROKEN:
  gnucash
The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED:
  libflac++5c2 libid3-3.8.3c2a libpq4 libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql
  libsqlite0
The following packages have been automatically kept back:
  nfs-common
The following packages have been kept back:
  nfs-kernel-server

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
gnucash [Not Installed]

Score is -9999

-------------------

Aptitude is unable to give any more solutions, so now I'm stuffed. I _really_ need to get gnu cash back online...

I have this issue as well .. same message as above when trying to install gnucash.. if you try to install libgtkhtml3.8-15 you get the following message:

Package libgtkhtml3.8-15 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libgtkhtml3.8-15 has no installation candidate

trying to install libgtkhtml says the package cannot be found..
