Lots of m4 issues today!

I'm not sure, but is that  a conflict marker from a CVS update?

What version of PCB do you have installed?

Say, for example you have PCB installed under /usr/local

what does the following command produce?

grep "<<<<<" /usr/local/share/pcb/m4/* -R

Coming to fixing the PCB file, try deleting this line:

PKG_CON_USB_TYPEB__Keystone_924(CON_USB_TYPEB__Keystone_924,U9,unknown) 
<<<<<<<<<LINE40

I wounder: does re-running gsch2pcb re-create that fault? It might be
left over from another failed execution.
