[GNC] Finance::Quote in GC 4.11 Flatpak

[Geoff]

CAVEAT:- I am not familiar with FlatPak.

1. See 3b.

2. I personally have no idea, but discussion on the pull request you 
cited says YES.

3a. 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shirayu/finance-quote/9aee4b6d06da8a0e689b751d0e926160fb99d71b/lib/Finance/Quote/CurrencyRates/AlphaVantage.pm

3b.  Follow these steps to locate and replace your current 
AlphaVantage.pm file:-

3b.1  Save the file from 3a (plain text) as AlphaVantage.pm in a 
temporary location.

3b.2  Find the current copy of AlphaVantage.pm on your machine - run 
something like this command:
   sudo find / -name AlphaVantage.pm -print

3b.3  Rename the current copy of AlphaVantage.pm in that location to 
something like AlphaVantage.pm.BACKUP

3b.4   Copy the AlphaVantage.pm file from 3b.1 to that location.

4.  If the above makes things worse, simply delete the new file and 
rename the backup file.

Good luck!

Geoff

I presume that this is due to the problem reported on the page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Source_Alphavantage.2C_US:

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.
