Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libfinance-quote-perl
In upgrading to Intrepid, Gnucash was no longer able to fetch stock quotes.
Using the Gnucash utility gnc-fq-dump, I got the following output:
--------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnc-fq-dump -v yahoo AMD
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: AMD <=== required
date: 00/00/2000 <=== required
currency: USD <=== required
last: 5.42 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 5.42 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
All fields returned by Finance::Quote for stock AMD
---------------
As you can see the date returned was erroneous. After some internet
searching and comparison to my other Debian system, I found that
/usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote/Yahoo/Base.pm had an error in it. In the
@FIELDS definition, "time" was before "date", but in the @FIELD_ENCODING
definition "d1" was before "t1". Swapping the position of either of
those (so they properly corresponded to each other) fixed the problem.
