Look in the "show files" function of your distro's package manager to see if it got put somewhere else. If it's completely missing, beat up your distro's packager for leaving it out. It's just a perl script. You can get it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gnucash/gnucash/master/libgnucash/quotes/gnc-fq-update.in. You can change the name and fix the shebang or not as you please. Or you can just do what it does directly: sudo cpan Date::Manip Finance::Quote Some package managers include CPAN modules, so you might be able to install those with your package manager as well.
