Comment 6 for bug 227732

Thanks John. That's a good summary. I've experienced the same problems trying to compile gnucash with --enable-hbci on Hardy. I actually did get it to compile by downloading the relevant Gutsy packages manually and setting hold flags in apt like you described. However, I realized that I don't like that solution, since apt, aptitude, and synaptic all use different hold mechanisms (I was still getting notifications from gnome update notifier that I should update various packages).

Now I'm trying to do it over again using /etc/apt/preferences and pinning. I think that will work better. I'll post again if I get it to work.

Tommy - this is very similar to Bug 5973, except that as John explained, there are now additional significant obstacles to enabling hbci/ofx support in Hardy. In prior versions of Ubuntu, you could just follow the instructions here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Debian and build your own package.
