A small adder:
The problem seems to be AlphaVantage related.
I switched for currency retrival to the European Central Bank (ECB)
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$ cd /usr/bin/
rd@h370:/usr/bin$ diff -u gnc-fq-helper.orig gnc-fq-helper

check_modules ();

-my $quoter = Finance::Quote->new();
+my $quoter = Finance::Quote->new(currency_rates => {order => ['ECB']});
my $prgnam = "gnc-fq-helper";
# Disable default currency conversions.
rd@h370:/usr/bin$
and my setup works as perfect as before.
Can anybody tell if there is a better way to switch to a different source than
Alphavantage?
It seems thought that the set of currency conversion rates provided by the ECB
is limited to:
