Bug#1108620: ngspice: Prospective upgrade of blt to 3.0 affects ngspice

Package: ngspice
Version: 44.2+ds-1+exp1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I'm planning to upgrade blt to 3.0 shortly after the release of trixie,
and this upgrade will affect ngspice. Specifically, the configure script
will not be able to find new libBlt30.so (now it searches for
libBLT.so), also blt.h will move to /usr/include/blt, and new blt
will require to be initiated by calling Blt_TclInit(). The attached
patch fixes these problems, and also modifies two scripts under
examples/tclspice/:
 1) namespace import blt::* won't work without -force now,
 2) vector create will return error if the vector already exists
 3) blt graphs will not have 'grid' subcommand anymore, grid
    configuration will move to the 'axis' subcommand.

You can do additional testing by using the blt packages from
experimental.

Cheers!
