Unable to get quotes

[Boyd Kelly]

I recently had this problem. Tests worked from the command line, as I
was checking with a stock symbol from yahoo, but still had the 'Unknown
Error' within gnucash).  I had a couple of Funds using 'Finance Canada'
source.  When I removed these funds from retrieving on-line quotes, the
error disappeared.  There also seemed to be an issue with currencies.

Is there maybe just a problem with some invalid combo of
source/symbols/currency being retreived?
