I tinstalled it once and it made it so that KDE would not load but I got another file manager instead. I don't want to go through that again... hence the apprehension in doing it again. I investigated putting kmymoney on but in the process it wants to update 77 packages and install 48 new ones. I can't decide which is the worst of two evils! I just want it to work and never run apt-get update again!. This is what gnucash needs which will poossibly lead to installing the afore mentioned 77+48. The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnucash: Depends: libbonoboui2-0 (>= 2.15.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgnome2-0 ( >= 2.14.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgnomeui-0 (>= 2.13.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 2.15.90) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgsf-gnome-1-114 (>= 1.14.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgtkhtml3.8-15 (>= 3.12.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: g-wrap but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages If you think I should follow the gnucash route I think I would dpkg install some of these dependencies and the others would just follow along. Right? Or else, perhaps I needed to pay closer attention during the config process. What do you think?
