Ok, I understand now.

PKG commands aren't supported by PCB, they expanded by the m4 macro
processor (for "oldlib") footprints, and any which remain unfound, are
replaced by gsch2pcb with the contents of the appropriate newlib
footprint. If it doesn't find the appropriate newlib footprint, it
"should" remove them.

For me, 

PKG_CON_USB_TYPEB__Keystone_924(CON_USB_TYPEB__Keystone_924,U9,unknown)

doesn't expand - is it a custom footprint not part of the normal
library?

PKG_SO14(SO14, U7, unknown)

expands ok. The way your email wrapped, I wounder if you have a space
after the footprint's name in the footprint= attribute.

PKG_SO14 (SO14, U7, unknown)

That won't work.

If you don't mind doing so, can you post the schematic and any custom
footprint in question, or a small test-case which reproduces the
problem. You can send directly to me if you want.
