Bug Description
I installed gnucash on a different computer and copied my gnucash config and data files to it. When I tried to open my data file, it said, "no suitable backend was found for file." The only file type available to choose from in the Open dialog was "file." I had to google the error to find a page on a Fedora forum where a user explained that he had to install a package for gnucash to work with its own SQLite-format files.
In Ubuntu the package is libdbd-sqlite3. The gnucash package "Suggests" it, but it should Depend on it. It's required to use GnuCash's own file format. And if it's not installed, and the user tries to open such a file, the user is left with little clue as to the solution.
