I don't know what else to tell you.  It's possible that the PriceDB
code is broken and doesn't use the conversion routines, but I find
that highly unlikely.  The only other possibility I can think of is
that your data file contains the RUR currency so it's re-adding it to
the currency database.  You might try uncompressing your data file and
seeing if there's an RUR gnc:commodity definition near the top of the
file, and if so remove it.

SECURITIES?  Yes.  CURRENCIES?  No.  The currencies are all
hard-coded, and in 2.2.2 there is only the RUB, not RUR.  But
I suspect your data file has an instance of RUR and GnuCash isn't
properly converting.
