even after downloading and installing later versions! I went to
flatpak to get later releases than the Ubuntu base. I guess I can

Still partly my bad. When I push interim releases to CPAN/PAUSE I have
to remember to use the 1.dd_dd format instead of 1.dddd. Otherwise the
distro gets indexed as an official release.
Switching all my securities to Alphadvantage was tiresome, as the
gui was no responsive to the keyboard, but I found the source could
be found using page up.
Last time I switched en-masse (alphavantage to yahoo_json) I manually
edited my foobar.gnucash file. Worked like a charm.
** Create a backup ** of foobar.gnucash before following these steps.
Replace 'vim' with your preferred editor.
~$ cp <pathtofile>/foobar.gnucash /tmp/foobar.gnucash.gz
~$ cd /tmp
/tmp $ gunzip foobar.gnucash
/tmp $ vim foobar.gnucash
In vim, change lines
<cmdty:quote_source>alphavantage</cmdty:quote_source>
to
<cmdty:quote_source>yahoo_json</cmdty:quote_source>
Save and exit
/tmp $ gzip foobar.gnucash
/tmp $ cp foobar.gnucash.gz <pathtofile>/foobar.gnucash
Run GnuCash, confirm quote sources for a random few securities.
There is also a handy tool for editing XML files on the fly, xmlstarlet.
It can also be used to modify the uncompressed .gnucash file.
