###Issues
KiCad installation failed due to deprecated PPA returning 404 on Ubuntu 25.04.
Installer did not recognize Ubuntu 25.04 and aborted as unsupported.
Installation failed because libcanberra-gtk-module is obsolete in Ubuntu 25.04.
NGHDL extraction failed due to tar utime and permission errors on modern filesystems.
GHDL build crashed because LLVM 20 is unsupported by GHDL 4.1.0.
Entire installer aborted when NGHDL failed, preventing eSim installation.
Approach (one line each)
###Approach
Switched KiCad installation to use system repositories instead of deprecated PPAs.
Mapped Ubuntu 25.04 to existing Ubuntu 24.04 installer logic.
Removed obsolete libcanberra-gtk-module dependency for Ubuntu 25.04.
Patched tar extraction flags to disable timestamp and ownership preservation.
Identified LLVM–GHDL incompatibility and avoided unsupported build path.
Added an early-exit guard to skip NGHDL on Ubuntu 25.04 and allow installer to complete.
