Bug#1040348: gnucash 5.1 fails to run finance-quote

[Doug Bell]

Package: gnucash
Version: 1:5.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Ater the upgrading to gnucash 1:5.1-1, it can not use finance-quote to
update the price database. In the dialog opened with "Tools->Price
Database", the "Get Quotes" button is disabled.

Attempting to get quotes from the command line resulted in this error:
$ gnucash-cli --quotes info
Failed to initialize Finance::Quote: Can't open perl script
"/usr/bin/finance-quote-wrapper": No such file or directory

Should gnucash require an updated version of libfinance-quote-perl
(currently at 1.54.3-1)?

Thanks for your help!
-Doug

Hi Doug,

same issue here.

Nevertheless, I'd find a way to fix it:
- the file exist into Debian source repository
- so download
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnucash/gnucash_5.1.orig.tar.xz
see https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/gnucash for information

- uncompress it: tar xJvf gnucash_5.1.orig.tar.xz
gnucash-5.1/libgnucash/quotes/finance-quote-wrapper.in

- apply attached patch (because the "finance-quote-wrapper.in" is not a
ready to use perl script)

- copy new "finance-quote-wrapper" into /usr/bin/finance-quote-wrapper

- you can test result into you gnucash, or with simple test:
gnucash-cli --quotes info
gnucash-cli --quotes dump alphavantage IBM

Regards,
Olivier
