I recently updated updated the Indi software in both my remote RPI, running Ubuntu Mate 16.4 and indilib 1.6, and my main computer running also running Ubuntu Mate 16.4 and KStars-bleeding. Before the update everything was working fine (It is several months since I did my last upgrade), however after the update I have a problem that appears to be related to the Park/Unpark commands that prevents me from running the system.
What happens is the following: When I start up the system from Parked mode and tries to UnPark, it responds that it is already UnParked, event though the control button properly changes state. If I after that tries to initiate tracking of a star the system responds with a warning that I first need to unpark the mount before issuing any motion/sync command - a Catch 22 type of situation!
If I, on the other hand, connect the mount locally to the main computer it works OK, so it appears to be related to the remote RPI software.

I would appreciate any help to resolve the problem.
