Re: Broken KStars in Kubuntu 9.04

I think it can be the cause of Indi. KStars is an INDI Client.INDI is a control protocol used in several astronomy applications to control astronomical instruments. KStars get broken due to a conflict between Indi and Libindi as they both give try to install the same file /usr/bin/indiserver.

So what we need to fix the broken KStars is to uninstall any one of these. i suggest you to let libindi takes over completely and remove indi. Do let me know the result.

KStars use INDI to control many telescopes, CCDs, focusers, and other instruments supported by INDI. but i can guess that your problem is with libindi and indi. I'm not sure of the history behind the 2 packages, but from what I can see libindi0 should to be set to conflict and replace indi.To replace indi with libindi, just go through this :-
  • Open terminal on your Kubuntu system and paste this code:-
    Code:
    sudo apt-get purge indi
    sudo apt-get install libindi0 kstars
  • Press Enter.

Thats it.. I hope KStars work fine.
