Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnucash

In Karmic gnucash is not able to retrieve stock quotes, although finance::quote works perfectly:

~$ gnc-fq-dump yahoo IFX.DE
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: IFX.DE <=== required
      date: 02/17/2010 <=== required
  currency: EUR <=== required
      last: 4.089 <=\
       nav: <=== one of these
     price: 4.089 <=/
  timezone: <=== optional

If I add a stock with symbol IFX.DE and tell it to use yahoo to retrieve the quotes, then go to Tools->quotes database->retrieve quotes it says
Abrufen von Börsenkursen für diese Werte fehlgeschlagen:
  XETRA:623100
Mit den benutzbaren Kursen fortsetzen?

which translates to: Retrieving the following quotes failed: XETRA:... continue with the usable quotes?

The same issue comes up if I try other sources or other stocks. There is no stock quote Gnucash is able to retrieve.

It took me 2 day's to figure out, that I have entered the stocks symbol into the wrong input box in gnucash.

Sorry, everything is working as expected.
