There was an unknown error while retrieving the price quotes

Started getting "There was an unknown error while retrieving the price
quotes" at the start of this month.

Running Fedora 22 with gnucash 2.6.12

I know sometimes the websites change their formats etc which can mess
things up, so I have tried a few different sources, but it makes no
difference.

The odd thing is, if I use gnc-fq-dump I get valid data. e.g.

[mike at blackstock ~]$ gnc-fq-dump yahoo BP.L
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: BP.L                 <=== required
      date: 10/07/2016           <=== required
  currency: GBP                  <=== required
      last: 4.8545               <=\       
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price: 4.8545               <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional
[mike at blackstock ~]$ 

It seems to affect all my UK quoted stocks, but nothing else. Anyone
got any ideas what is going on ?
