Installation problem was created by VTVL

After a re-installation of Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 which went well I used the
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding command.
The installation appeared to go well. But when starting kstars from the command line the error message appeared:
kstars: error while loading shared libraries: libnova-0.16.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The installation report shows:
Setting up libnova-0.14-0:amd64 (0.14.0-2.1) ...

Hi, I have no clue of this apt-get stuff but my guess would be that the kstars you installed was compiled with libnova version 0.16 and you have installed 0.14. I would try to install the 0.16 version somehow.

With some help from Jasem the problem has been corrected.
$ sudo apt-get install libnova-0.16-0

$ apt-cache policy kstars-bleeding

What is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova*

there is no libnova-0.16.so

you could perhaps fake the library...
sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova-0.14.so.0.0.0 libnova-0.16.so.0.0.0
sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova.s0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova-0.16.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova.so

ls libnov*
libnova-0.14.so.0 libnova-0.14.so.0.0.0 libnova-0.16.so.0.0.0 libnova.so

ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Feb 6 14:20 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova-0.16.so.0.0.0

ldd /usr/bin/kstars | grep nova
libnova-0.16.so.0 => not found

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova-0.16.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnova-0.16.so.0
sudo ldconfig

Ah, now KStars starts....version 2.7.3 as I had before the upgrade to 16.04.1
Thanks
