OK, thanks. As I can't now install indi-full anyway, it looks like my only option! I need indi-eqmod and indi-gphoto. Why does the nightly tell us to install them all I wonder?

Because the nightly doesn’t know what drivers you need for your equipment. It is much easier and safer to install them all than to instruct users to install only specific ones. Not everyone is as savvy about Linux as might be expected and simply installng them all prevents a lot of trouble and headaches.

OK but now I can't install indi-full which brings me back to my original message:

sudo apt install indi-full

The command I always use to make sure that the latest updates are installed on my Debian based systems (which include Raspbian and Ubuntu) is

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

I just gave this a try on one of my KStars/Ekos systems and indi-altaircam was automatically selected for installation. The installation failed because indi-altair still was installed and after uninstalling that, the installation of indi-altaircam still did not complet successfully. First I had to do

sudo apt --fix-broken install

and thén it finally worked.
