Still one problem (perhaps better handled on the F::Q mailing list):
My main reason for wanting to update F::Q is that I saw that SIX.pm had
been updated.
However, in GC (flatpak) 5.3+ with the updates to the PM scripts
mentioned below, the Securities Editor still shows the obsolete SIXfunds
and SIXshares as sources and no SIX. Furthermore. both SIXfunds and
SIXshares are greyed out.
According to GitHub
(https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/commit/19962d29985549bfefef89891670dafb93e87f27)
SIXfunds.pm and SIXshares.pm were merged into SIX.pm as of 19 Nov., 2020.
What do I need to do to get rid of the obsolete entries and get access
to SIX as a source of securities pricing?

I meant go back to the 1.56 version of IndiaMutual.pm, leaving everything
else in place.
You don't need to delete it, just remove the two lines in Quote.pm that
refer to it.

I don’t need IndiaMutual.pm, but I don’t want to go back to 1.56 because I
would like to try out the updated version of six.pm. Can I just delete
IndaiMutual.pm?

IndiaMutual.pm has a new perl dependency IO::String
(https://metacpan.org/pod/IO::String) as of F::Q 1.57. That dependency is
in the nightlies but not the release flatpak. It's pure perl and has no
dependencies so you have a couple of ways forward:
* Get the source code (there are links in the sidebar on the left on
the IO::String page) and install it in the flatpak's perl directory
as IO/String.pm
* Install a recent nightly build and apply the F::Q update to that
* If you don't need the IndiaMutual module you can restore the 1.56
version that doesn't need IO::String.

This suggests to me that the changes in the pm scripts depend on changes
in the actual program code.
Can I just copy the entire tarball extract into
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/, or do I need
to limit what I copy or keep any residual files in that directory tree?
Thanks for your support!

Now that I copied over the Quote directory and the Quote.pm script in
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.32.0/Finance/
with the files from the 1.58 release package, the "Get Quotes" button
in the Price Database tool is disabled. I already gave universal
execute privileges to all of the newly copied files (and directory).
What else might be the cause?

https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote offers a zip download
of the code from master. Is this the 1.58 release code or the
current development version? If the latter, where should I be
looking for the release?

I am running GC 5.3+ as a flatpak under Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS.
The included F::Q version is 1..56, which I have modified with the
Yahoo as JSON patch already published to this mailing list.
However, it looks as though the current F::Q release, 1.58,
includes quite a few fixes for various sources.
The last I heard, it wasn't possible to update F::Q within a
flatpak installation of GC. Is that still the case?
If so, when can a flatpak update of GC containing F::Q 1.58 be
expected?
If not, how can I update F::Q within my flatpak installation?
The update will be available when someone (probably I) have time to
update the F::Q module in gnucash-on-flatpak. That update will be
immediately available in nightly builds; it won't be available on
Flathub until the regular release at the end of September.
It's not possible to use CPAN, and consequently gnc-fq-update, in
the flatpak, but you can do it manually similarly to the way you
applied the yahoo_json patch: Download and untar the release
tarball or clone the repo then copy Quote.pm and the contents of
Quote/ into the right places in your flatpak.
