Since gnc-fq-update dcidn't work from inside the Flatpak sandbox, I
copied the entire .../lib/Finance directory from the current master
branch (presumably version 1.53 alpha) into my Flatpak installation. Now
quote retrieval seems to work satisfactorily, including currency
exchange rates.

I use a Mac, not a Flatpak on Linux, but one detail of this thread caught my
eye. You say, "for the one [file named AlphaVantage.pm]? in my Flatpak
installation". On the Mac, Finance::Quote installs not one, but two files
named AlphaVantage.pm . When I run the "find" command below, I get two
results:
/Library/Perl/5.30/Finance/Quote/AlphaVantage.pm
/Library/Perl/5.30/Finance/Quote/CurrencyRates/AlphaVantage.pm
It is the second file, within the directory CurrencyRates/, which must be
updated. Does Flatpack contain two such files? Did you update the correct
one?
The first file was 12527 bytes, the second (inside CurrencyRates/) is
3938 bytes as updated.
Now the situation may be different on Flatpak, in which case this comment is
of no use to you. My apologies.

Thanks for pointing that out!
The directory .../Perl/5.30/Finance/Quote/ in my Flatpak installation has
no subdirectories, but I see that the fixed AlphaVantage.pm is in the
CurrencyRates subdirectory of the master branch on github
(https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/tree/master/lib/Finance/Quote/CurrencyRates).
I therefore restored the original AlphaVantage.pm in
.../Perl/5.30/Finance/Quote/, downloaded the master branch of F::Q and
copied the CurrencyRates subdirectory into my Flatpak installation.
Unfortunately, "Get Quotes" still takes 15 minutes and then returns the same
"Unable to retrieve" message.
Kdiff identifies 70 changed files between F::Q 1.49 and the current master
branch, so I guess I will either have to install the entire master branch or
install 1.52 and replace the appropriate AlphaVantage.pm
What really puzzles me is why F::Q insists on getting currency exchange
rates from AlphaVantage, when it's so complicated. In the course of my
research, I noticed that F::Q retrieves a currency list from Yahoo (in
"Currencies.pm"). It seems that Yahoo also offers FX rates
(https://finance.yahoo.com/currencies). Wouldn't it be easier to retrieve
the rates from Yahoo as well?
