It's because ngspice is build as a shared library (--with-ngshared):
http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/shared.html

src/Makefile.am adds ngspice to files to be compile only if SHARED_MODULE is not set, i.e. no --with-ngshared is used with ./configure.

ngnutmeg needs --enable-oldapps configure option and no --with-ngshared.

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.

Thanks Jani to your wisdom on this.
So, if we build it as a shared library but OP want binaries, is this possible?

$ urpmq --whatrequires-recursive ngspice
ngspice

So what app we ship require it? Obvious.

I see no reason not to assign this to zezinho, the registered maintainer.

It'll just be adding another bug to the list that has to be mass reassigned
to others.

FWIW, 
testing in cauldron with KiCAD 7.0.1:
The only ngspice package needed to run simulation in KiCAD, is lib64ngspice0

This newbie know no other way to use ngspice yet. But so far it works.
