I doubt that. Getdeb provides a more recent version of gnucash. Finance::Quote however is an
independent package. I don't see it in the getdeb repositories and certainly not in
http://www.getdeb.net/software/gnucash
While it's good to get a more recent version of gnucash, this alone will not solve your quotes
downloading issue.
I'm not on Ubuntu, so I can't help you much further. There are other users who are and may
be able to offer better support. Otherwise you can also ask around on the Ubuntu forums.
