gEDA-bug: [Bug 723343] Re: gnetlist misinterpretes "." and "_" in footprint names

[Peter TB Brett <723343@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid I couldn't work out which part of this bug report is the bug,
and which part is user error. :-P Could you please clarify for me?
Thanks!

Title:
  gnetlist misinterpretes "." and "_" in footprint names

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  gnetlist fails to interpret footprint names that contain a period. It seems to parse the string instead of simply take it as a whole.
   Example: A footprint file named 
                    AMP_4.2mm_20PIN_LAY.fp

  When used in a schematic as 
        footprint=AMP_4.2mm_20PIN_LAY.fp

  gnetlist with option --skip-m4 produces this file not found error:
        CONN5: can't find PCB element for footprint AMP_4.2mm_20PIN_LAY (value=AMP_4.2mm_header,_20_pin)  

  Suggestion: The footprint should not be interpreted in any way if m4
  is not active.
