[GNC] gnucash finance quote not installed properly

OK, I switched my task bar to 3.8 for now (3.9 crashed on scheduled transaction template amount update). I suppose some day Ubuntu LTS and gnucash will evolve to allow later versions! Since 20.04.2 is the latest LTS, I need to wait for newer stable versions.
3.8 to 4.4 seems a long way to be trailing behind.
Ubuntu LTS updates are brutal enough! 20 came with no boinc support, and I do not like the "improvements" to look and feel!

Ubunutu 20.04 provides GnuCash 3.8. They don't update GnuCash versions so the only way to get a newer version that way is to upgrade to a newer Ubuntu release.
As Geert explained at length, you don't have a flathub flatpak so you can run flatpak update every second of every day for a year and the version you have installed won't change.
There aren't two revisions in the same executable. The overall version, 3.900, means that it's an unstable build from the master branch of our sources. "git 3.7-222-gae3bb9892+" means that it was built from commit ae3bb9892 that's 222 commits past the last tag, 3.7.
To make sense of that you need to know that we keep the source code in a revision control system in two main branches: maint and master. maint contains the current stable code and master contains work-in-progress code for the next major release. Each change to the code is bundled up in a commit in the revision control system. A tag is a marker on a commit; we use them exclusively to designate releases on the maint branch and while we periodically merge the maint branch's commits into the master branch and it gets release tags from those merges. Of those 222 commits noted above some will be bug-fixes made on the maint branch and the rest will be development work on the master branch. That development work has a good chance of being incomplete and an even better chance of not being well tested: You'd only want to run such a build to test some new feature not for everyday use.
Please follow Geert's instructions to remove that flatpak, it was for testing and is now thoroughly obsolete.

Good question! I have been running it for so long, I am not sure! It is 3.900 build id: git 3.7-222-gae3bb9892+(2019-09-29), and software update may have installed changes. I was trying to get past a crash in update scheduled template transaction recently, may have installed some deb, and finally found an older version to run to do the update on. Maybe I can point the quotes to an older version. That was 2/23-2/24, btw.
