I've had a quick look at aptitude (to install GNUCash), but I could not get it to update new packages. I just get "0B downloaded in 0S". Have I lost the plot? Will I be able to install GNUCash this way?
What syntax are you using to update your package list, and install gnucash? The following should work without problems:
bnonn(a)jade:~ $ sudo aptitude update bnonn(a)jade:~ $ aptitude install gnucash
If you're using Ubuntu (which I seem to recall you are). You might find it easier to use Synaptic, which is a graphical front end to the package management system. You can access Synaptic via the System Menu, then Administration > Synaptic Package Manager. Once there it will present you with a list of all the categories that you can select software from, or you can simply click the search button on the toolbar and search for gnucash. Once it appears in the list you can select it for installation. Regards -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
