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

[David Carlson]

If you check the other thread on this user maillist, you will find more

In the meantime the simplest work-around is to log in to your favorite
finance website, get the prices that you need and manually enter them in to
GnuCash.

I am not happy about that either.
