Fred – there are two part to this – stand alone each -- and they combined can together work as one, or as two separate things on their own on any system if you are NOT using flat pak version of GNUCash. It looks like you may be confusing things here because of that.
There is Perl based Finance::Quote (F::Q for short) libraries – which is responsible for retrieving quotes from various sources -- and there is GNUCash -- which is for bookkeeping. However, GNUCash can call Finance::Quote to retrieve pricing for its needs. The upgrade happens when you update each components and what is packaged with each. gnc-fq-update is part of GNUCash; and NOT part of F::Q. You have to update GNUCash to get updated gnc-fq-update. Updating F::Q – which now stands at 1.65 -- simply updates Perl libraries which may introduce additional sources for Quotes, fixing bugs, etc., but it does not trample on any of the GNUCash packaged components, and vice a versa for F::Q components when upgrading GNUCash. Hope this helps.
