Hi,

I've closed a few of them... and have made some comments below.

Antique bug, code in question no longer in the repository -> closed.

Somewhat of a FAQ, probably due to bad coding in some gnetlist backends.
A known "workaround" is here..

Two different programs. gschem2pcb is obsolete, and has been removed in
recent versions (1.5.3 onwards IIRC). -> WONT_FIX upstream -> close.

We have completely different rendering code now (in gEDA 1.6.0), and
I've personally never encountered the bug in all gEDA versions I've
known. Our drawing routines have come a long way since this bug was
filed.

-> Probably not present in any "recent" (last several years) version of
gEDA -> close.

Various whining in this bug report - not that any of them are really
bugs. -> WONTFIX, -> close.

One for you Debian guys I guess..

Please don't submit bugs anonymously to the trackers.. we can't get the
link to the extra details, can't contact the original submitter - so are
unlikely to get resolved.

Hopefully I've been able to assist in clearing most of the backlog ;)

Best wishes,
