Plan A) Downgrade the offending library.

I've traced it to libltdl3 (from libtool): downgrading from 1.5.2-2 to
1.5.2-1 solved the problem for me.

Plan B) Upgrade gnucash to the version in unstable. (this does not
necessitate upgrading your -whole- system to unstable)

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
gnucash, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive:

Plan C) Wait until gnucash moves from unstable to testing. Who knows
how long that could take.

Hmm, that's almost amusing. All the 'grave' bugs against
gnucash are repeat reports of this same linking error which is
already fixed in unstable. That means those duplicate bug
reports are preventing the bug from being fixed in testing.

Yes. Well, my machine is mostly testing but I also have a number of
packages from unstable as well. I chose "Plan B", above, and had only
a few minutes of "downtime".
