[GNC] Finance::Quote in GC 4.11 Flatpak

[rsbrux]

Unfortunately, this didn’t wotk for me.  After substituting the version of AlphaVantage.pm linked below for the one in my Flatpak installation, “Get Quotes” was completely disabled.  I suspect that I don’t have the correct file, because the new version is much smaller than the original AlphaVantage.pm fron F::Q 1.49.

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.
