Bug#1068949: libfinance-quote-perl: Quotes failing in Gnucash

[Bill Wohler]

Package: libfinance-quote-perl
Version: 1.59-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I ran the Tools > Price Database command in Gnucash using the "Yahoo
as JSON" source and got the following response:

    Unable to retrieve quotes for these items.

In the past, this error was resolved by editing
/usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote/YahooJSON.pm. However, this time, I
could not find any solutions online. I tried upgrading from version
1.54 (bookworm) to 1.59 (trixie), but that did not resolve the issue
either.

I hope you can do a better job finding a valid URL for the Yahoo
quotes. Alternatively, if you could recommend another, more stable,
source for retrieving mutual fund quotes, that would be great too.
Thanks!
