I did some more digging, and I noticed that gnet-pcbfwd.scm contains 
references to gnetlist. On the crashed system, gnetlist was installed in 
/usr/local/bin, together with a lot of other gEDA stuff:

~/root_backup/usr/local/bin$ ls
*gafgarchivegattribgnetlistgnetlist-legacygrenumgsch2pcbgschemgschlasgsymcheckgsymfixgxyrsMerge_dimPCBPSMergePCBPSpcbpcb_backannotaterefdes_renumschdifftragesymxorn
*

In the new installation, I located many of these files in /usr/bin, now 
with a 'lepton-' prefix:

$ cd /usr/bin
$ ls lepton*
lepton-archivelepton-clilepton-embedlepton-netlistlepton-refdes_renumlepton-schdifflepton-shelllepton-symfixlepton-upcfg
lepton-attriblepton-configlepton-exportlepton-pcb_backannotatelepton-sch2pcblepton-schematiclepton-symchecklepton-tragesymlepton-update

Now if these differently named files are indeed the problem, the 
question is how I can fix this in the cleanest way possible.

I'm tempted to create symlinks with the 'old' names (in most cases 
simply replacing 'lepton-' with 'g'), but that feels rather messy, and 
it may also fail when these newer scripts are not compatible with calls 
from this slightly older pcb version. Would perhaps a newer pcb version 
find these lepton files automatically? Then I think the best way forward 
is to build it from source.

Anyway, I think I'll try the renamed symlinks first, as they can be 
easily removed again, and then see what I can find wrt. pcb versions.

Regards,

Richard
