[GNC] gnucash finance quote not installed properly

[David G. Pickett]

I did an apt remove and apt install, and now /usr/bin/gnucash=3.8 supports the finance quote again.  My gui is still 3.9 flatpak, unless it bugs out on me, and then I can use a term to use 3.8, perhaps more stable.  I still wonder when 4.4 will come to ubuntu 20.04 lts, apparently the current most recent ubuntu lts.  After having boinc bow out when I went to 20.04 lts, I was afraid I was losing another app to a declasse OS!
Just in time for end of month numbers!

PS: I see the version I run is under flatpak under gnome-shell, and the one in /usr/bin is the corrupted version used for quotes.

The one in /usr/bin/gnucash is NOT the flatpak one, so you must have a partially installed / broken version of GnuCash installed on your system.
The command to launch the flatpak one is
$ flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
And you can pass additional arguments to it. SO for example:

$ flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash --version   GnuCash 4.4  Build ID: Flathub 4.4-4
