Finance::Quote version 1.38, still can't fetch prices.

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,
This is a known error that just started 2 days ago when Yahoo discontinued
their quote service.
There is no current workaround except finding another quote source for
your stocks.
Moreover, this is an F::Q issue, not a gnucash issue.
Thanks,
