If you remove the fink-installed F-Q 1.08, does GnuCash 1.8.12 still work? I think 1.8.12 should be able to use F-Q 1.12, but I'm not sure. You'll probably have to force-remove it, because fink will complain that gnucash depends on it (but you're planning on it being able to use the system tree copy of 1.12). When you have dissimilar versions of perl modules installed both via CPAN and fink, you risk software finding the wrong version. I'm not positive, but I'm fairly certain I ran GnuCash 1.8.11 from fink using F-Q 1.11 installed in the system location by CPAN. There is a finance-quote 1.12 package in the submission queue in fink. It has been stalled for a while because of the policy consequences of having to put F-Q 1.12 in the crypto tree because several of the newer quote sources (and TIAA-CREF) now require https connections. (Mostly this means that I don't understand how to resolve the questions returned by the devs reviewing my submission, and I haven't figured out the right question to ask...)
