I have installed my free AlphaVantage API key in /etc/environment, but when I try to "Get Quotes", I get the well-known message "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:, CURRENCY: ...". I presume that this is due to the problem reported on the page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Source_Alphavantage.2C_US:
>>
GnuCash stopped being able to retrieve currency exchange rates using a free AlphaVantage API key from about Aug 15 2022 because AlphaVantage made the method F::Q used to obtain exchange rates unavailable for free API keys.
F::Q has been modified to work with free API keys and the fix should be available in the next F::Q version (1.53).
<<
By running "gnc-fq-check" in a console running "flatpak run --command=sh org.gnucash.GnuCash" I found that the F::Q version in my Flatpak installation is 1.49. Obviously, I would like to update F::Q to version 1.53. I tried running "gnc-fq-update" from within "flatpak run --command=sh org.gnucash.GnuCash", but it fails from a normal account (presumably due to inadequate priveleges), and "sudo flatpak run --command=sh org.gnucash.GnuCash" doesn't work either, nor does running "flatpak run --command=sh org.gnucash.GnuCash" after having used "su <adminname>" to invoke it with higher privileges.
1. How can I update F::Q in my Flatpak installation?
2. Will this solve the problem? V1.53 isn't listed in either SourceForge or metacpan.
3. I looked at the workaround (https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/pull/230), but it isn't clear to me:
a. How to obtain the updated AlphaVantage.pm from github pull #230?
b. How to apply it to the flatpak environment?
