    Qucs is gone after upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10

    After an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10, Qucs (the circuit simulator) is gone and there seems to be nothing to replace it. I used that frequently. What was supposed to be the new/replacement circuit editor and simulator in 12.10?

    Yes, that helped me to find and re-install Qucs. Thanks for the pointer.

    Since doing yesterday's upgrade I have found several software packages that were removed as part of the upgrade process. It is frustrating and time consuming to find and re-install these packages. Seems the upgrade could have been done better.

    The problem is that Qt4 was removed from ubuntu since 12.10. Qucs still uses Qt3.
    However, I have made a qucs-qt4 port and it can be downloaded from a PPA
    if you add this to your sources you will be able to install qucs:
    ppa:fransschreuder1/qucs

    or from the command line:
    sudo apt-add repository ppa:fransschreuder1/qucs
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install qucs

    The port has been added to the official qucs sourcecode, and I will try to get it back into the official debian/ubuntu repository

    You're welcome! Please take in mind that this qt4 version is not yet very stable, expect a few bugs. I am (with a new team) working hard on the qt4 version to get everything stable, as well as implementing new functions in qucs.
