Problem with swapping mechanism and can't find parts

[jwmurphyjr]

Upon starting program in Debian 9.5 Stretch AMD 64 bit with fritzing & fritzing-data 0.9.3b+dfsg-4 & fritzing-parts 0.9.3b-1 installed , I get this error

also, can't read file screw_terminal_2_3.5mm.fzp

and unable to find following parts

[jwmurphyjr]

The program loads after these errors. Program was installed through Synaptic Package Manager and Debian repository

Just found issue problem, fritzinf-parts folder is now being created when installing through Synaptic Package Manager and Debian repository. Work around is to download program fritzing-0.9.3b.linux.AMD64.tar.bz2 package from http://fritzing.org/download/ uncompressed and copy the fritzing-parts folder to /usr/share folder and the errors go away
