[GNC] gnucash finance quote not installed properly

Here's what I have on my system:

$ flatpak list
Name                    Application ID             Version Branch
Installation
default                 …sktop.Platform.GL.default         19.08  system
Intel                   …ktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel         19.08  system
openh264                …desktop.Platform.openh264 2.1.0   2.0    system
GNOME Application Plat… org.gnome.Platform                 3.36   system
GnuCash                 org.gnucash.GnuCash        4.4     stable system
Ambiance Gtk theme      org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Ambiance         3.22   system
Yaru Gtk Theme          org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Yaru             3.22   system
$

A few days ago I noticed some outdated runtimes, so I used
$ flatpak remove <full application ID>
and they're gone now. There may be a more efficient way to do it.

Maybe the version of GnuCash you're using is "pinned" to the highest
version of GNOME you have?

You might try removing all the packages flatpak is warning about and
reinstalling GnuCash. It will definitely bring in whatever other flatpak
packages it needs when you do that.

Again, if there's a more efficient way to do it, maybe someone with more
flatpak experience will weigh in.
