I had a very strange shematic error: in the main sheet I managed to add 
2 daughter shematics exactly in the same place! The problem is that it 
was not visible and I could not move only one of them... I had to edit 
the file

Did anyone have some similar problem?

Jean-Pierre,

I believe I know what happened, it was to some degree a problem with 
mixing eeschema versions between different engineers working on the 
same project.
Two of the sheets were developed separately, one root containing one 
child sheet. We then added that root sheet to another schematic as a 
child sheet. The name of the child sheet that had been the root was 
changed. One of the nets that contained several erroneously merged 
nets had the same name as the previous root schematic. I believe at 
some point in time one of the schematics was manually edited and some 
of the sheet timestamps had been removed. Interestingly enough, 
eeschema still rendered the schematics correctly.
I guess the only complaint I have is the lack of verbose diagnostics 
in the schematic to netlist conversion. I had to find the errors in 
PCB, emitters and collectors of transistors being shorted together 
and the like.

Thanks for your consideration and timely response.
