I am sorry, but this is not possible.  The functions fetch and yahoo, among
others, have been introduced in a recent version of the financial package.
Since we are in the freeze period for lenny, we are not allowed to introduce
substantial changes in the packages, in particular new upstream releases.

I am lowering the severity level of this bug report, accordingly.  I will
keep it opened until the next release of the Debian package.
