Thanks!  I don't know if there is a way to get ngspice to produce debug
output.  I am considering pulling the ngspice-28 to ngspice-30 "upgrade"
into it's own build again rather than putting this broken thing into
nightlies for all macos users.  Nick, other folks, what do you think?

On the packaging side, all I did is change an include path and which tag to
pull from.  I need to review the build logs.

If someone could double check that this isn't an issue introduced by the
latest macOS OS update, and check on the latest stable KiCad, that would be
great.  It could possibly be related to notarization/sandbox changes, and
not actually related to ngspice! (Doubtful, but possible!)
