I'm sort of new to Arch. I just installed yesterday, so didn't know about that. I did not see a bug report (maybe I missed it).
And I thought that even if it is flagged as out-of-date, it would still install.
I thought it was a reasonable question to ask (with some detail provided), and I was tring to be helpful.
I don't know the etiquette here yet. Sorry.
And Gnucash is really important to me.
I will try checking the email archives.
At Arch, is IRC preferred over mailing lists as a source of information?
IRC is much harder for em to use effectively; it's like trying to dring from a fire hose.
See: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156905 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207957 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207989 But mostly, this Wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Signature_from_.22User_.3Cemail.... There is nothing wrong with gnucash, and of course you can install packages that are flagged out of date. Notice which package has a problem -- not gnucash, but libdbi{,-drivers} ... Anywhere as a source of information is fine, but obviously the best source of information in this case is the Troubleshooting section of the pacman Wiki page -- failing that, it is best to first see if you can find other people who have had the problem, and see how they solved it. :) -- Eli Schwartz
