Please note that cqrlog is in the PPA for releases previous to Precise,
and in the archive for Precise.

However, it is currently broken in Precise. This was originally due to
an error in another package that cqrlog was dependent on, and this
affected Petr's ability to try to make the changes necessary for hamlib.

I just communicated with Petr yesterday about this, he's aware of the
problem and wants to fix it but he's buried in personal life and work
right now. It's not clear when it will be fixed for Precise but it will
almost certainly be after the release freeze.
