I followed this, but got the following message: "Ihnen fehlen einige ben=F6=
tigte=20
Perl Bibliotheken. F=FChren Sie update-finance-quote als root aus, um diese=
 zu=20
installieren (you lack some needed Perl libraries. Execute=20
update-finance-quote as root to install them).

I did so and chose automatic installation. It failed.

ith=20
those needed perl libraries around? Any other help?
