Package: ngspice Version: jessie Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
ngspice can be configured to use libedit, or libreadline, or none. debian ngspice uses --with-editline (which uses -ledit) Yet the implementation of where_history() in libedit seems to be broken for a long time. where_history() is used to format the prompt of an interactive ngspice session. Due to this bug this prompt is not incremented as expected. It seems libreadline works correctly. Thus you might consider to configure with --with-readline if there are no license issues.
