Hello,

I have spent a few days on this so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the 
right direction.

When I first met this error, I didn't know what to do.  I ran gnucash (GUI) 
with logging but it didn't show anything useful.  I didn't use gnc.scm=debug at 
that time because there were too many messages and gnucash slowed down too much 
to be usable.

After opening a bug report, I was directed to a wiki troubleshooting page.  I 
thought it would be nice if users could be directed without needing to involve 
a developer, so I opened a feature request for the application to direct users, 
which was promptly closed.[1]

In my original bug report, I was told "perl didn't pass in enough information 
to figure out what went wrong" but during troubleshooting, I could see perl 
passed some information, added it to the bug report, and it was enough for a 
GnuCash developer to point me to the fix in F::Q.  Not sure why this 
information isn't presented to the user in the first instance.

Regardless, GnuCash knows what operation it was trying when it got an error.  
i.e. which price quote was being retrieved.  I thought it would be nice if 
users could be told without needing to troubleshoot, so I opened a feature 
request, which was also promptly closed.[2]

Now I've patched F::Q and gnc-fq-helper is working fine, but gnucash-cli 
--quotes is still giving the same error.  I've been told multiple times it's 
not in GnuCash, but I can't get enough information to confirm or deny that.  
Full details are in the original bug report (which I was asked not to 
reopen).[3]

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide,
Jay
