Comment 17 for bug 59060

There are two problems occurring here and both exhibit the same behavior.

The first and easiest is when a user does not have a price or quantity of stocks. Easily fixed.

The second is more elusive. It has to do with libhttp.so and it being moved out of libgnomevfs2-common and into libgnomevfs2-extra.

This is shown here: http://<email address hidden>/msg113515.html

A simple apt-get install libgnomevfs2-extra will solve this second problem.

Also note, this does happen with the weather applet too since it relies on libhttp for its data.
