Now that I copied over the Quote directory and the Quote.pm script in
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.32.0/Finance/
with the files from the 1.58 release package, the "Get Quotes" button in
the Price Database tool is disabled. I already gave universal execute
privileges to all of the newly copied files (and directory). What else
might be the cause?
