Unfortunately, Qucs appears to be in a problematic state right now. There
are two main issues with it:
1) It has a requires on freehdl, but freehdl was orphaned a year ago so it
is not in F30/31/32.
2) It fails to build in F32, the Bugzilla entry seems to suggest that this
is fixed if Qucs gets upgraded to its most recent version (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1799962) though, since it was
fallout from the GCC 10 upgrade.
The issue with freehdl is that it needs to go through a new review to get
re-added to the repository (since it has been over a year since it was
orphaned).
The primary Qucs maintainer is Geoffrey Marr (I have CC'd him in on this),
so hopefully he can respond and say if he has time to keep working on Qucs.
Probably the best place to start would be to revive the freehdl package (so
you will need to rewrite the spec file and get it reviewed). If you want a
co-maintaner, I can help out since I have used Qucs for a while (but
haven't had to recently, so I didn't notice the breakage) - but I can't
sponsor into the packager group, so you would need to find someone willing
to sponsor you.

Hello!
I am Gonçalo (gpereira). I am an electrical engineer so you can expect
my contributions to be around those kinds of packages. My motivation to
join was seeing the qucs package broken. I would like to dedicate some
time to understand the spec file in order to maintain it. I believe this
will be a good starting point to learn more about the fedora package
system.
By the way, is there anyone that tried this already?
Best Regards,
Gonçalo Pereira
