Don't shoot the messenger!
Don't fix an application if it is not broken. This OFX import was working
properly before.
I have no problem with introducing a new build system, but TEST, TEST, TEST !
And it's not like there are not oodles of tools available nowadays to automate
the testing either.

  *   Run unit tests
  *   Automated deploys to a build server
  *   Virtual guests for testing on other platforms

Personal rant follows.
I have been using KMyMoney for 20 years, maybe more.
But the last few years, since around 2019,  it has come to the point that I do
not even bother anymore to upgrade to a new release as it gets worse and worse.
I have become reluctant to lodge bugs out of fear it will just get worse.
For example:

  *   The tax report has entries at the top that are not even tax related
  *   The order of accounts under Account is not right anymore: reverse order
  *   There is a bug with

If someone feels it is getting too complicated, then stop fiddling with the
software until you understand what you are doing.
Rather do NOTHING, than "FIX" something that is NOT BROKEN in the first place.
Hopefully this is a wakeup call.

There appears to be another issue with OFX importer under Windows, but
unrelated to this one.

Also:

> Some developer, in their ultimate wisdom, decided to move the dtd files to another location.

The issue was caused by switching to another build system for libofx, a
dependency library. Snarky comments like this are not appreciated by developers
who develop this software in their free time. Please feel invited to learning
the intrinsically complicated process of procuring packages for several
platforms, in a project as complex as KMyMoney.
