My guess, is the symbols package has not been installed? Hamish, what are the dependancies on the geda-* packages? libgeda and symbols should probably be dependancies of all the other geda-* packages if they aren't already. I don't know if Ubuntu uses the exact same debs that Hamish created (?). -Ales
