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?
