Package: kicad-common
Version: 0.20131208+bzr4024-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

KiCAD has undergone a lot of changes lately, and the format of footprint files
was changed.
>From what I can tell, the old .mod format is still supported, but it is
suggested to migrate to the new .pretty format.

At the same time, the old .mod files are not installed with the Debian kicad-
common package any more, but the new files are also missing. There's only a
bunch of .kicad_pcb and .brd files in /usr/share/kicad/modules, which don't
seem to work in pcbnew.

This user has found a solution to get the old .mod(ules) back:

I will try that too, but a proper installation of all the standard footprints
with kicad-common would be nicer.

Thank you!
