I usually run geda.git on my Gentoo.

Recently I noticed trhat I can't for the life of me generate correct 
netlist from schematics either manually or as schematic import from PCB.

It doesn't work with xorn, gnetlist or gnetlist-legacy.

The best I can do is get new "pcb" with just pure net specifications, 
but without any elements and other fields, which makes file format invalid.

All manual methods give me the same exact results.
It's not that the thing can't find any elements as it would otherwise 
report an error( missing element).

Here in the example I used a test with just two elements 
Basic/resistor-1.sym

I placed them on schematics, gave them both attribute footprint=0805,
named them as R1 and R2 and connected them in parallel with two nets.

"gnetlist -v -g PCB  -o TEST4.pcb TEST4.sch" gives me output with this 
content ( minus starred demacartion lines):

/*************/
unnamed_net2<-->R2-1 R1-1.
unnamed_net1<-->R2-2 R1-2.****
/*************/


Just those two lines. No some header and other fields, that one would 
expect in pcb file...
