The Mint 18 installation resides on a separate partition which is not 
mounted when I run Mint 17, and vice versa. Only the /home partition was 
common between these two Mint versions, so I can't think of a way that 
this could get messed up.

And forgive my ignorance, but what are Scheme files? And how can I 
locate them? I can't recall having come across these before. If a newer 
version of one of these is somehow parked in my /home directory, but not 
in ~/.gEDA/, then that might explain things.

I don't know; how can I find this out? This is the gschem version:

$ gschem --version
gEDA 1.9.2 (gb83e7a3)

Note: I installed geda-geschem, pcb etcetera as packages from the 
mehanik/geda-unstable PPA, but that has always worked fine. As is no 
doubt clear from the above, I'm only marginally competent in debugging 
things like this.
