You can change your local table ~/.config/kicad/fp-lib-table and add the
correct names there
I guess that's not too bad since there's only about 15 names involved.
or, if you haven't modified the table much, delete
the file. KiCad will copy the default file with the new library names if
you restart KiCad.
Will that work, since the files in the /usr/share/kicad tree are what's
wrong?
In the end I wouldn't wait for a version 4.0.6 in the Stretch release.
If the upload to NEW is going well we need to ask the release team if
they would allow a upload to unstable and a unblock for migration to
testing.
After the release we could then make a upload to backports every time.
Apologies if I'm speaking out of turn here but I don't think it should
be released in this state. The problem is not so much how it looks
inside Debian, but that KiCad itself is pointing to Debian as the
definitive location of a usable .deb built from their source repository.
http://kicad-pcb.org/download/debian/
I'd suggest that either it should be fixed inside Debian, or that KiCad
should be asked to temporarily remove that link since what's being
shipped doesn't correspond to their sources.
