gnucash crashes while selecting SKR04

Thanks for your bug report. Can you give us detailed steps to reproduce the bug report so we can confirm it?

Ok, here are the steps:

- start gnucash
- go to "file ->new -> new file"
- gnucash starts the welcome dialog of the druid for creating a new system of accounts -> press "next"
- choose EURO -> "next"
- select the "Kontenrahmen SKR04"

...now gnucash chrashes with the messages above.

Some system informations:
Ubuntu 8.04, 2.6.24-16-generic, gnucash 2.2.4-1ubuntu1, desktop: Gnome, locale: DE - de (German)

I confirm that I've been able to reproduce this bug with these steps. German language support must be installed and if German is not the default language, gnucash needs to be started with German locale "LANG=de_DE.UTF8 gnucash" since this bug only appears with German language, As far as I know. I am not able to get any backtrace from gnucash, it only exit with code 02. I'll forward the bug upstream to gnucash developers in the next minutes. Thanks a lot for your bug report!

you were the one to upload the latest gnucash package?

Rolf Leggewie : I'll follow your suggestion from bug 5973 and wait for gnucash 2.2.6. Then we will probably be able to backport 2.2.6 to Hardy.

This bug was fixed in the package gnucash - 2.2.6-1ubuntu1

This bug is now fixed in intrepid. I'm looking if I can ask for a backport for Hardy.

I think the easiest way to do that would be to take current acctchrt_skr04.gnucash-xea and include that in an update. This should fix the crashes.

Rolf Leggewie : Since the bug affects only one locale, I tend to think that a backport is a better solution than updating gnucash for all hardy users. But this is only my opinion, if you still believe that we should go with a SRU for Hardy, I'm ready to take this.
