Bug Description
Gnucash installs fine and runs fine but I guess only the XML backend is included by default. The libdbd-mysql, libdbd-sqlite3 packages that provide the various SQL backends for Gnucash are put as recommended packages. However, when not installed and a user tries to open a .gnucash data file that is an SQL database, a message saying "backend not found" shows up. Not its a hint but could be more useful like:
"Backend not found, are packages libdbd-mysql, libdbd-sqlite3 installed?"
Or just put those 3 libdbd* packages as dependencies...
It is super annoying when you make a fresh install and this message shows us :)
