in preparation for the current KiCad version 7.0.10 I packaged first the 
latest release version 42 of NGspice.
The buildd overview for the resulting upload shows that ngspice isn't 
can't get run the configuration successfully on loongarch64.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ngspice&arch=loong64&ver=42%2Bds-1&stamp=1703970458&raw=0

The relevant part to me is probably this:

> S parameter analysis enabled
> GNU readline disabled.

> configure: error: Couldn't find BSD editline headers.

Maybe just a build dependency is missing?
Could you please have a look? Without ngspice support KiCad is missing a 
important part.
