It is certainly broken.  I tried opening a known working project I
had and CvPcb generated lots of missing *.mod errors.
I also couldn't open the pcb.

I got around this problem by downgrading from the 0.20131208 version
to 0.20130727.  Luckily I had them in my /var/cache/apt/archives/

I also noticed that the newest version (0.20131208) has almost no .mod
files whereas the older (0.20130727) version has many.
