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.

John Ralls

Thanks Tommy,

After reading things over I tried to do some checking...

Opened a new terminal and entered the following:

sudo perl /usr/bin/gnc-fq-update

This is the error message:

Can't open perl script "/usr/bin/gnc-fq-update": No such file or
directory

gnc-fq-check ran correctly and listed ("1.38"..."yahoo"...)

Do I not have the Finance::Quote package properly installed? If so
how can I get it, I installed/updated the following packages when my
system was last built:

gnucash 1:2.12-1
gnucash-common 1:2.12-1
gnucash-docs 2.6.12-1

/usr/bin contains several gnc-fq files but update is not one of them!

Ideas?

Jay

Thanks David,

The latest version of libfinance-quote-perl that I have available is 
1.38. Where can I obtain 1.41 or later that is compatible with my system 
  Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with GnuCash 2.6.12 (This copy was built from rev 
ed11f6d+ on 2016-04-18.)?


Cheers, Jay
