Description:
Finance::Quote is missing
perl-finance-quote not installed and therefore the stock quote feature does not work.

This can be installed by issuing: pacman -Sy perl-finance-quote
But, gnucash doesn't pick this up and it looks like gnucash requires a recompile.

The #gnucash folks (jsled) on irc.gnome.org said this: "there's a "quotes" use flag that controls the dependency on F::Q" Maybe this will help the developer assigned to the task.

Additional info:
GnuCash 2.2.5

 FS#12795  mentions that perl-date-manip is required for the exact same reason.
If perl-finance-quote is indeed required instead of the above that would probably mean pulling many perl module dependencies from community. (If sergej's package is right)

Out of curiosity, if you install both perl-finance-quote and perl-date-manip, does it magically work?

No, installing both perl-finance-quote and perl-date-manip does not help. If you attempt to use the Price Editor (tools --> price editor) for stock quotes, there is a message halfway down the Price Editor window that says "warning: finance::quote is not installed properly"

I take that back. I did a reinstall of perl-finance-quote after perl-date-manip was installed, and now things appear to be working as they should. Magic! Please confirm and close.
