Kendall,

Thanks for your reply.

After checking the mailing list archives, I found a similar problem was
with the "courage" package, which was solved by (as root):

    pacman-key --refresh-keys

I tried that, and it *seems* to have worked. I downloaded
Gnucash 2.6.10-1, and it *appears* to be okay.

So, don't go to the trouble of building a package.
But thanks for offering.  I appreciate it!
