Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnucash

Release of Ubuntu: natty
Package Version: 1:2.4.0-3

The new GnuCash version in natty can't download quotes and rates because it thinks that the Finance::Quote perl module is not installed properly. Just before upgrading to the 2.4 version, downloading quotes with GnuCash was working.

For example, entering the command "gnucash --add-price-quotes myaccounts" prints:
No quotes retrieved. Finance::Quote isn't installed properly.

Building the source package then copying manually the script src/quotes/gnc-fq-check to /usr/bin will allow GnuCash to recognize the Finance::Quote package. Copying the gnc-fq-helper script will allow GnuCash to download quotes. The source package can be fixed by adding the following lines to the debian/gnucash.install file:

/usr/bin/gnc-fq-check
/usr/bin/gnc-fq-helper
