     Oops, I'm still learning the protocol.

    I've done a few 'simpler' packages,before I discovered sbopkg.

    Yes, I understand the ramifications.

    Thanks for that pointer;I've just had a look at the site.

    	I'll be on the lookout for that, as well.

    Thanks Chess,
    Now here is the interesting bit; I successfully installed 'gnucash
    2.4.5' with sbopkg a couple of years ago, I think with Slack 13.37.
    I did manage to get the dependency ducks 'in a row' and all was
    well.
    I'm trying to upgrade to 2.4.11 and my list agrees with yours with
    the exceptions that ORBit2 seemed to have dropped off my installed
    package list.
    I reinstalled that and tried again and got the same
    error message about 'gnome-keyring' missing. I rechecked with
    2.4.5;it's definitely listed as a dependency there.
    I do have a copy of the last page of the 2.4.11 installation
     attempt description if it's of any use.
