[GNC] Upgrading from old repo to new stable (4.06)

[Dale Alspach]

Try flatpak/flathub. Quoting John Ralls:

GnuCash is now available as a flatpak from Flathub.org. Instructions for
installing and running may be found at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak
.

Note that at the time of this announcement the flathub.org build is broken
because of a problem with Finance::Quote installation. We will get a
release up there as soon as we can resolve the issue.
