gEDA PCB....

Errors in footprint (and symbol) libraries are an EDA problem not just a gEDA problem. You need to verify that a footprint matches the manufacturer's specification and your process specification. Different manufacturer's sometimes have different specifications for the same package style.

After I verify a footprint I move it to a "released for production"
directory. I have
gsch2pcb only use footprints from that directory.
