GNUCash install: g-wrap will not be installed

[Rahim]

hi guys
i wanted to install GNUCash from Add/Remove but i got an error and was told to install it through Synaptic. I did that but there the error was that "g-wrap will not be installed".
I guess g-wrap is the dependencies of gnucash. So i searched for g-wrap and selected it but it shows another dependencies error.
"g-wrap: Depends: libgwrap-runtime0-dev but it is not going to be installed"

I am running Fiesty Fawn with latest Gutsy kernel
Plz help
This is the error while installing from Terminal

 sudo apt-get install gnucash

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Plz help me.

[infra_red_dude]

it says g-wrap is broken. so i guess you can't do much abt it anyways!

[Rahim]

But previously when i installed Ubuntu first time a month back i was able to install GNUCash, no error were shown.
Does it mean i cannot install GNUCash unless the developers of g-wrap fix it?

[praka123]

http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...untu1_i386.deb
^^ install it then.
btwn dont mix repos of gutsy with feisty unless u know apt-pinning.
already there is a repo for backports from gutsy to feisty afaik

[Rahim]

Thanks praksh for the link but it again gives a dependencies error guile1.6-dev and if i install that then again another dependencies error. This is endless. I think i have to forget GNUash for now.
Tell me which repo is of gutsy and should i remove it?

[praka123]

i think ur repos are correct.but u need to press "reload" in synaptic(or in terminal- sudo apt-get update) when internet is ON to get latest updated list.because i know i can install gnucash easily with the same sources.list.

[infra_red_dude]

yes, even i think it needs a Reload or apt-get update. sometimes in life we forget simple things! thanks for reminding, prakash

[Rahim]

I have done the reload stuff before but it still gives me the same error. What to do?
@prakash123 Should i use your sources.list? Will it hose my system.
I am using Feisty Fawn 7.04 with Gutsy kernel 2.6.22-9-generic.

[praka123]

^my sources.list is for feisty.hopefully works.u can use it.

[Rahim]

Did nt work prakash. I am pulling my hair out.........

I did this
sudo aptitude install gnucash abd here is the result

rahim@SEBA:~$ sudo aptitude install gnucash

libc6-i686 [2.6.1-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 2.5-0ubuntu14 (feisty)]

Maybe the -2.6.22-9-generic kernel is the problem.

[praka123]

"sudo aptitude install -f "
^^try it

else,if u can,compile a 2.6.22 kernel from sources via the debian way.

[Rahim]

This is what i did

sudo aptitude install gnucash

That scared me, so i gave up.

[mehulved]

It's quite fine. I don't see any problems with it. So, what's scaring you?

[kalpik]

^^ Mehul, read it again! It says that libc6-dev is broken, and its removing the whole of open office!

[Rahim]

That scaring me out it want to remove the Gutsy kernel and penoffice suite!!!!

[mehulved]

Eh, I realised now. It's libc6-dev. That won't b0rk the system at all. Those are development headers and libraries. The actual libc6 is what is the important component. And it will be downgraded. See this

Downgrade the following packages:
libc6 [2.6.1-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 2.5-0ubuntu14 (feisty)]
libc6-i686 [2.6.1-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 2.5-0ubuntu14 (feisty)]

That's fine then. He can install libc6-dev packages if he wants later.
rahimveron, There's no problem with removing a kernel as long as you have one other working kernel on your system.

[Rahim]

ok mehul and others for assuring me.
