Bug Description

since december 12th 2016 I can't receive stock informations via finance::quote (1.38) anymore to update my porfolio value. While trying to update the stock prices gnucash is in an endless loop waiting and ubuntu ask me to kill gnucash or wait as soon I click anywhere in the GUI.
Already updated Date::Manip and Finance::Quote via perl ... problem is still there.

Yahoo doesn't give any answer and there is no time out
$gnc-fq-dump yahoo BAESY.PK

wehre as finanzpartner gives some kind of feedback:
$gnc-fq-dump finanzpartner BAESY.PK
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: BAESY.PK (deduced) <=== required
      date: ** missing ** <=== required
  currency: ** missing ** <=== required
      last: <=\
       nav: <=== one of these
     price: <=/
  timezone: <=== optional

** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!!

Yahoo deco'd their quotes API last year. The recommendation is to move to Alphavantage as a source of quotes, which requires an API key. GnuCash 2.6.20 adds UI support to enter the API key, although there are workarounds available for the earlier versions that ship with Ubuntu.
