This error message means that the gnetlist2 executable should have been 
installed but somehow was not found at the place where it should be.

I'm not sure how this could have happened.  I suspect it's an error in the 
PPA; I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

The pcbfwd backend works with the current version of gEDA/gaf, as should 
any other backend, shipped or not.  The breakage we talked about was 
related to a backend which required a patched gnetlist binary, something 
which should be avoided if possible.  I think that if there is any 
consequence from this, it is that we should more actively include 
contributed backends into the main gEDA/gaf repository and add them to the 
regular test suite.
