Hi John
Thanks for the pointer.
I'm told that building 3.5 from source is simple but it requires some
screwing up of my courage.
In the meantime I have a (very) rough and ready work round (totally
outside of GnuCash) that'll satisfy my immediate needs.
Eric

Hi
This is so weird it must be me ??? otherwise pandemonium would have reigned
here!
About two weeks ago I upgraded my system to Ubuntu 18.10 and a few days later
to 19.04 (ironically, I was trying to get around some problems) and installed
GnuCash from the standard repository; so I am running GnuCash 3.4 with
Finance::Quote 1.47 on Ubuntu 19.04.
As part of my usual work process, on 30^th April I updated my share prices as
in the past I was using Alphavantage to get UK share prices and Yahoo-JSON to
retrieve European prices. Then, as usual, went to check that everything was OK.
Although there were no error messages and all the names of my European shares
were shown in the Price Database window there were no prices against any of
them ??? and I mean NO prices. I know that there were some there at the end of
March but everything had gone. Even the little triangular thingies were
missing. As there are only half a dozen shares in this group I thought to add
the prices ???by hand??? but I couldn???t do it, although I could fill I the
fields and clicking Apply gave no messages nothing appeared in the database.
A further oddity is that in the table of accounts there is a Present value
against each of the European shares ??? to get that GnuCash must be picking up
some price from somewhere. I???ve done some checking around and I can???t find
a reasonable explanation of how the price is determined.
I take an archive copy of the data file at the end of each month. I have opened
several of them (using the standard GnuCash 3.4) and get the same behaviour
with each of them.
As I said, it must be me but - any ideas of what I???m doing wrong.
Or failing that, would I be able to open the 3.5 data file with GnuCash 2.6.21?
Eric
PS: For completeness:
I had not changed the Symbol for any share since the successful update at the
end of March. The Yahoo site shows Deutsche Post as DPW.DE (not the DPW.F I had
been using). Changing the symbol to DPW.DE gave no different result (again, not
even no error message)
Sounds like https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797046, fixed in GnuCash
3.5.

John Ralls
