I am trying to import an .mny file into skrooge, but during the operation I get the follwing messages:
[ERR-5]: Import of file named 'file:///media/marc/Data/Donnees/Marc/$Mes Finances/KMymoney/Marc 2008.mny' failed
[ERR-8]: Load of 'v_operation' with 'id=2' failed because it was not found in the database

I am running skrooge version 1.9.3Beta under Kde 4.14.16

Any idea about the problem ?
Thanks

Hi,

I am the main developer of Skrooge.
This seems to be a bug.
Could you provide me a sample file to reproduce this issue?
If yes, you can do it by email, you can find it in the "About" of Skrooge.

Thanks for your quick answer.... however I do not have a sample file, the concerned file is a production file, difficult to share. It is an old file from which I intended to look at certain transactions. I am not a MS money user anymore.

I understand.

Could you generate traces by doing this from a console?
export SKGTRACE=20
skrooge > t.txt 2>&1

I am not sure that traces will be generated on this old version of Skrooge.
But, if you have traces then you can send me them by mail for analysis.

Other question: why are you on a so old version based on KDE4? Could you test with the latest version 2.8.1 based on KF5?

Sorry, I do not understand what you want me to do.
from a console do you mean from a terminal ?

Regarding version of Skrooge, I installed it by entering commands (today):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skrooge

regarding the version of KDE, I suppose that this is the version that was installed when I installed Kmymoney last year. Should it not be automatically upgraded via the Ubuntu software updater. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and perform updates on a regular basis.

Could you please advise. Many thanks.

On 16.04, you can install the last version from my ppa:
https://skrooge.org/ubuntu_installation

And test again.

I tried to re-install from your ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:s-mankowski/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skrooge

But it did not make any update,instead I was warned that the latest version of skrooge was already installed.

Regarding the 2 commands, the file t.txt was generated but I could not open with a text editor (gedit). How can I send it to you?

Thanks for your patience. Note that in the meantime, I also tried to import 2 kmymoney files, import also failed on one of the two kmymoney file.

You must install the kf5 version:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:s-mankowski/ppa-kf5

Then try again.

I don't remember but you will have may be to do a:

sudo apt-get remove skrooge
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:s-mankowski/ppa-kf5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skrooge-kf5 (note the -kf5)

Will this installation be compatible with Kmymoney running under KDE 4?

I do not want to screw up my system.....and i still need Kmymoney.

Yes

Is this issue closed now?

I am away, I will try next weekend.

I did this morning, but skrooge was not installed. The steps were the following

sudo apt-get remove skrooge
went Ok, skrooge was removed

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:s-mankowski/ppa-kf5
went OK, no error message

sudo apt-get update
Got following error messages:
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/s-mankowski/ppa/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/s-mankowski/pp ... 6/Packages 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

sudo apt-get install skrooge-kf5 (note the -kf5)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/skrooge-kf5-common_2.8.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have now a permanent error message on Ubuntu:

"An error occured, please run package manager from the right-click menu t-get in a terminal to see what is wrong.
The error message was: ' Error: Broken count > 0 '. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies"

I then ran in a terminal
$ Sudo apt-get remove skrooge

and got the following messages:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'skrooge' is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
skrooge-kf5 : Depends: skrooge-kf5-common (>= 2.8.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

the command 'sudo apt-get -f install' does not solve the problem.
What should I do now ?
