Retrieving stock prices fails

[Trevor Farlow]

Have you tried other pricing sources besides the two Europe entries, Julius?

I have been having consistent retrieval failure for the last few months
using the sources Single: Yahoo or Multiple: USA (Yahoo, Fool ...) with
the error: "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:" followed by all
my securities. In response to this thread I tried the Single: Europe
source and it fetched prices. Notably, however, the source Multiple:
Europe (Yahoo...) fails with the same error as above.

gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe INL.F gives the same successful output as David's.

I'm running a build of r17773 configured with --enable-aqbanking
--enable-hbci. (Price retrieval began failing consistently (same error)
some months ago with the Ubuntu packages, so I compiled from source to
ensure the flaw was not in the distribution.)

I'm still interested in getting USA sources working - are all currently
included pricing sources verified as working?
