     All bugs have been imported to launchpad. This particular report got
     number #698608 :
            [3]https://bugs.launchpad.net/geda/+bug/698608
     Unfortunately, nothing has been done about it. It was still listed
     as "new"
     some minutes ago. The faulty behavior shows in my install, too. So I
     changed
     the  status to "confirmed".
     gattrib seems to be a bit neglected by developers. It feels more
     like a
     proof of concept than like a powerful tool. In my humble opinion, it
     would be better export/import to a spread sheet application like
     oocalc
     or gnumeric. This would avoind reinventing lots of wheels. If
     anything
     special is needed within the spread sheet, oocalc comes with full
     fledged scripting ability...

     not happy with moderation of geda-user

   I think the concept of import/exporting into a spreadsheet program is
   an approach worthy of consideration as well.  I had Excel in mind when
   I made my initial observations about the program. Since the gattribute
   capability seems to have been untouched for a long time, this further
   supports that what ever is done to fix it, should rely on tools that
   have good and sustained development efforts sustaining it.
