    Hello.
    There is gEDA available in Ubuntu under the name:
    lepton-eda

    I tried to install gEDA packages in turn using GDebi. Packages for ease of download
    https://pkgs.org/search/?q=geda
    I installed one by one with the missing dependencies. GDebi displays hints.
    At the moment, gesch works, although I haven't checked everything.
    I would like to help too. I have lots of projects using gEDA and I think there is no converter for KiCad.
    What are the steps needed to compile a new updated gEDA package?

    As gEDA seems to have been abandoned, I have installed lepton-eda via synaptic as suggested by darmint. lepton-eda is a fork of gEDA and appears to be active. Thus far I have established that i can open my old gEDA schematics but haven't had time to go any further.

    Compiling from source tarball (http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:download )gEDA/ gaf still works in ubuntu 20.04.When we do $./configure --prefix=$HOME/geda --enable-silent-rules, we obtain the list of dependencies.All dependencies can be downloaded from ubuntu 20.04 repository directly except the python2 libs and this will show a "python2 not found" dependency error.We can then do # sudo apt-get install python-dev-is-python2.That will do the trick, and gEDA/gaf i.e the schematic capture, netlister, symbols, symbol checker, and utils work properly like in previous ubuntu versions.I have not checked the pcb and gerbv as I use gEDA only for schematic capture for ngspice.
