gnucash 2.6.11: Missing dependency prevents "Get Quotes" from working

[aetherknight@…]

Gnucash appears to be missing a perl dependency for the Perl script it uses to interact with Finance::Quote: p5.22-datemanip

I ran into a problem while trying to update stock quotes in Gnucash. Whenever I navigated to "Tools" -> "Price Editor" -> "Get Quotes", Gnucash would pop up a dialog that said "There was an unknown error while retrieving the price quotes." There was no additional information on the STDOUT/STDERR or to the console. However, I was able to track the problem down to the gnc-fq-helper script used by Gnucash to interface with Perl Finance::Quote:

Can't locate Date/Manip.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Date::Manip module) (@INC contains: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.22/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.22 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.22/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.22 .) at /opt/local/bin/gnc-fq-helper line 29.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/local/bin/gnc-fq-helper line 29.

The p5.22-datemanip port was not installed after I had just updated gnucash. After I installed p5.22-datemanip, the "Get Quotes" feature started working again.

This was fixed a while back in svn r148778.
