Thank you, Andy. You solved the problem. 

I did’nt catch that “unspc” was standing for “unspecified”… not enough
sleep, too much alcool… or something like that J

The problem was coming from the ULN28xx lib. The “common” input pin is not
declared as a “power pin” by default . Everything is running fine now. 

Modifying ERC rules was not an option… masking an error is not very elegant,
and the problem would have been reported later on the DRC… 

Tnks again, Andy.

The DRC works by a set of rules. Unspecified pins ALWAYS generate a
warning by default. You have a few options.

Ignore the warning a carry on.

Do NOT to use unspecified pins, Perhaps a passive could be used instead.

Modify the rules so that the warning is not generated.
Click on the ERC button and then select the Options tab
If you look at the Unspec pin you will see that it is set to generate
warnings when connected to any other type. You can click on the little
coloured squares to change the rules. 

DO BE CAREFUK as you might set things such that you could miss some
critical errors.
