In Ubuntu, we have a patch which fixes this. (A back-port of a change from the gEDA 1.6.0 version).
You can find the Ubuntu package here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geda-gattrib/1:1.4.3-2ubuntu1 In any case, this Debian bug is likely to be closed by the impending upload of the gEDA 1.6.0 packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
