Installation of indi-full on Ubuntu 22.04 Now Failing

I've been using the full indi-lib, gsc, and Kstars Ekos on Ubuntu 22.04 successfully for well over a year now. I usually apply updates to the system as they become available, but this may have finally bitten me this evening. After an update to the system, I rebooted the mini-pc at my telescope. Everything appeared to come up fine, and I launched PHD2 and KStars. I clicked the Ekos icon in KStars to start Ekos, and then clicked the Connect button to start indi and load all of the device drivers I have configured. That's when it started... I received errors indicating ASI EAF could not be loaded, then it completely crashed KStars. So I tried again, and again, but to no avail. I uninstalled indi-full, gsc, kstars-bleeding from the system using apt-get remove <each packagename>. I then rebooted the system, and tried reinstalling the packages. Trying to install indi-full produces the following error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
indi-full : Depends: indi-avalonud bit it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Did something happen to the indi-avalonud library that makes retrieving it or installing it impossible? Can it somehow be force-ignored as a "dependency" since I have no Avalon equipment anyway?

Thanks,
Peter

It seems, that the compiling of the drivers is still ongoing.

I see. Unfortunate as it made KStars/Ekos inoperable on the minipc at the scope last night. This morning the installation of indi-full still fails with "indi-avalonud is not installable".
Fortunately I have a second minipc that I swapped into place after giving up on trying to resolve the issue on the original minipc.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
this also happened to me once. Since that I look at launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+ppa-packages and see whats going on. Best is, to wait another day or two and watch the incoming threads ;-)
I also have a spare minipc with the older version, just in case something went wrong. Clear sky is rare in my area...

Thank you! Compiles from source again.
If you have a second... what could I have done to figure that out myself?

Jerry,

Not 100% sure I would have gotten it, but in retrospect, I would have tried this on my ubuntu system:
sudo apt-cache search zmq

(1) apt-cache search ___ is the command to find installable packages.
(2) zmq because your error showed: "ZMQ_LIBRARIES"

The output of that command for me is:
libczmq-dev - High-level C binding for ZeroMQ (development files)
libczmq4 - High-level C binding for ZeroMQ
libjeromq-java - Java implementation of the ZeroMQ messaging library
librust-zmq-dev - High-level bindings to the zeromq library - Rust source code
librust-zmq-sys-dev - Low-level bindings to the zeromq library - Rust source code
libzmq-ffi-perl - version agnostic Perl bindings for zeromq using ffi
libzmq-java - ZeroMQ Java bindings (jzmq)
libzmq-java-doc - Documentation for ZeroMQ Java bindings (jzmq)
libzmq-jni - ZeroMQ Java bindings (jzmq)
libzmq3-dev - lightweight messaging kernel (development files)
libzmq5 - lightweight messaging kernel (shared library)
php-zmq - ZeroMQ messaging bindings for PHP
php-zmq-all-dev - ZeroMQ messaging bindings for PHP
php8.1-zmq - ZeroMQ messaging bindings for PHP
python3-aiozmq - ZeroMQ integration with asyncio
python3-txzmq - ZeroMQ binding for the Twisted framework (Python3 version)
python3-zmq - Python3 bindings for 0MQ library
r-cran-pbdzmq - R bindings for ZeroMQ from the pbdR project
rsyslog-czmq - ZeroMQ protocol support for rsyslog via CZMQ
ruby-ffi-rzmq - FFI based Ruby bindings for ZeroMQ (ØMQ) networking library
ruby-ffi-rzmq-core - FFI wrapper around the ZeromMQ (ØMQ) networking library for Ruby
uwsgi-core - fast, self-healing application container server (core)

The packages with -dev at the end are traditionally those for compiling.
There are only a few of those to try, and "libzmq3-dev" does sound right, so you'd install that with:
sudo apt install libzmq3-dev
