Bug Description

Installing geda-xgsch2pcb brings gschem and pcb and everything seems ready to start drawing an electronic project. However, having drawn the schematic one can not update the layout in pcb, unless geda-gnetlist is installed manually.

Otherwise, one only obtains this error in terminal and PCB window opens without components:

<gsch2pcb>: gsch2pcb: gnetlist command (gnetlist -q -g gsch2pcb -o converter4V.new.pcb -m gnet-gsch2pcb-tmp.scm converter4V-page1.sch) failed.
<gsch2pcb>: At least gnetlist 20030901 is required for m4-xxx options.
Could not open actions file "converter4V.cmd".

I therefore suggest to add 'geda-gnetlist' as a dependency. It only brings about 600 kiB extra and makes the geda suite work properly.
Regards,
Filip
