Try

and then

sudo apt upgrade indi-full

again.

Unfortunately not:

Package indi-altaircam is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

That is really strange. I run Ubuntu 18.04 and indi-altaircam got installed fine on my system. Does it help if you first do

sudo apt update

and then try to install indi-altaircam again?

Looks like a package was renamed. Please try

sudo dpkg -P indi-altair

and then try again

sudo apt install indi-altaircam

dpkg will probably complain that you are trying to uninstall indi-altair because indi-full depends on it. In that case you can do

sudo dpkg -P indi-altair indi-full

and then

sudo apt install indi-full

which then also should install indi-altaircam automatically.

indi-full is a package that depends on all indi drivers that are available. If you don’t need the indi-altaircam package then you can happily use Ekos without indi-full. You could even uninstall it to get rid of this error. Still, it is strange that you cannot install the indi-altaircam package!
