Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].

Comment 4 Morgan Leijström 2020-08-16 21:03:27 CEST
Still 0.0.19 is latesthttp://qucs.sourceforge.net/

According to https://github.com/Qucs/qucs/blob/qucs-0.0.19/NEWS.md "The port from Qt3 to Qt4 is still ongoing"

Another home page
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qucs/

Is qt4 still supported in Mga8 ?
- If not i think we should even drop this package.
Comment 5 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-16 21:09:49 CEST
Can we support deprecated upstream and no longer-maintained libraries?
I ask in qa-discuss.
