Re: gEDA-user: No component found message.

Hello Peter,

I'm using debian testing version, and I used synaptic to get the geda packages.

The output of dpkg-query -l "*geda*" is

ravith@debian:~$ dpkg-query -l "*geda*"

Interesting..
What 
distribution 
do 
you 
use, 
and 
how 
did 
you 
get 
the 
.deb 
packages?

What 
is 
the 
output 
of 
the 
command: 

dpkg-query 
-l 
"*geda*"

(I'm 
wondering 
about 
version 
mis-matches)

The 
.deb 
package 
libgeda-common 
might 
be 
important.

You 
may 
need 
to 
check:
/etc/gEDA/system-gafrc

Is 
similar 
to 
that 
which 
would 
be 
installed 
by 
the 
libgeda-common
package. 
If 
you 
have 
local 
modifications, 
it 
is 
important 
that 
they 
are
merged 
with 
any 
new 
stuff. 
1.4.0 
loads 
component 
libraries 
via 
a 
change
made 
in 
this 
file, 
and 
whilst 
this 
change 
isn't 
in 
1.2.1, 
if 
your 
config
file 
remains 
from 
an 
older 
gEDA 
version, 
there 
could 
be
incompatibilities.
