I saw the Package Managers page [[Package_Managers]] and found a [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/767/what-is-the-real-difference-between-apt-get-and-aptitude-how-about-wajig Stack Exchange article] and the top answer says Debian folks prefer aptitude. HOWEVER I recently installed Debian 10 "stretch" and aptitude isn't even installed by default. The "new" version of apt is (super cow powers and all). I hope someone can point to a definitive source that tells me for sure.

I updated and rewrote the page. I tested these install instructions on ubuntu edgy, and added a few words about ubuntu. I also tried to explain the section about package version numbers a little better. If anyone still doesn't understand, I will try and make it more clear. Wuzzeb 04:10, 18 December 2006 (EST)

Thanks for the additional text. I guess this is indeed a lot more understandable now. --Cstim 04:41, 18 December 2006 (EST)
I work on Kubuntu 7.04. I followed the instructions (hey, well done!) and everything compiled and installed fine. My self-compiled GnuCash seems to work pretty well and I have a new menu entry for "MT940 import". But when I try to really import an MT940 file I get a dialog box saying "Import module for MT940 import not found." Any idea what I can do now? --Nops 15:47, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

libaqbanking - Configuring section

I made a very minor change. In the .install file, instead of /usr/lib/libaqofxconnect.*, it should be /usr/lib/libaqofxconnect.so.*, otherwise the -dev package has a conflict with the ofx0 package.

error when building the package... any help ?

Now we are ready to build the package.

$ dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot

end of the log :

Debian packages

I was reordering the "Installing GnuCash on Debian" section (first part of the page) when Fell suggested another change. I'm not completely happy with my change but I hope it's better. Twt (talk) 17:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Apt vs Aptitude

I saw the Package Managers page Package_Managers and found a Stack Exchange article and the top answer says Debian folks prefer aptitude. HOWEVER I recently installed Debian 10 "stretch" and aptitude isn't even installed by default. The "new" version of apt is (super cow powers and all). I hope someone can point to a definitive source that tells me for sure.
