Yahoo Europe only showing old quotes

[Richard Ullger]

Prices are being downloaded from Yahoo Europe but they appear to be a couple of weeks (or so) behind. Its been like this for a while.

In the long-running saga of trying to get accurate price feeds for
various UK mutual funds...

I am running GnuCash 2.2.6 on Mandriva 2009.0. I am using a slightly
patched version of Finance::Quote 1.15 (to enable yahoo europe to work).

I was successfully getting prices for most of my UK funds, but now I
discover that Yahoo Europe seems to have stopped updating its prices on
27th April. For instance, if I run the command line version for this
fund today (13th May), I get a price for 27th April:

$ gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe GB0001036531GBP
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: GB0001036531GBP      <=== required
      date: 04/27/2009           <=== required
  currency: GBP                  <=== required
      last: 1.157                <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price: 1.157                <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional

Similarly, if I type the same fund code into Yahoo UK's web site, I get
the same:
http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GB0001036531GBP

Is anyone else seeing this too? If so, does anyone have any idea where
an up-to-date price might be obtained? The fund code listed above is for
"L&G UK Index Trust (R) Acc", but I'm seeing the same with all my funds.
