Helmut,

Had to open data source read-only.

   Question: ogrinfo calls the driver OpenFileGDB while the GUI driver list
changed that to ESRI FileGDB. Why?

   And this is what I tried, using the GUI. I don't find yesterday's GUI
attempt in the .bash_history file and I don't remmber the error message.

   Using the CLI, v.in.ogr works when I provide a location.

   For years I used only the CLI; Markus N. a few years ago suggested I use the GUI
and I have been using that. While I can return to using only the CLI, that
will not help development of 7.3; instead, when the GUI fails (as it did
with this FileGDB I'll immediately use the command line. When the latter is
successful I'll report the difference as a needed examination of the GUI.
