[GNC] Problem getting price quotes after upgrade

[azalea4va]

I have been running gnucash on Linux Mint for years.  The guncash I am
running is version 3.7 that I built from source.  I recently upgraded to
Mint 19.3. On the new system I go into the price editor and click on "Get
Quotes", I get "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:" and then all the
stocks I have configured to get quotes on are listed (eg, VBTLX).

I am currently have two partition running Mint 19.3.  I one, I just upgraded
from 19.1 to 19.3.  In the other I did a fresh install to 19.3.  Gnucash is
in a data partiton used by both versions of linux.  Get quotes runs fine in
the upgraded version but not in the fresh install version.  I even tried
recompiling gnucash on the new install system but that had no affect. I have
not found any logs that give any more information on why the price lookup
failed.

I wonder if in the fresh install I am missing a library (the source code
READMEs are as useful as they could be).  Here is a list of some apropos
installed packages on both systems:

I have tried executing gnc-fq-update and gnc-fq-dump on both system but that
has not provided any insight because it fails on BOTH systems.  But I still
am able to get quotes on the upgraded 19.3 system.

If anyone has any insights, please share.
