If you encounter errors in updating INDI recently and it looks like this:

OR

Please run

I’d advise to do

sudo apt install libmicam

and then try again. The package is available after all.

FYI, the instructions given by the Software Updater app on failure show slightly differently, but give a similar command (not exact, but essentially the same) as suggested by Kaczorek. I opened a Konsole and ran the command with sudo, and at the continue prompt gave the "Y", and all was well afterward.

Yes. This helped - thank you!

I might be dense but it didn't help here:

I have no clue how to get rid of it.

Thanks a lot,

"sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" -f install indi-mi"

solved it.

Hello,
I got the same issue.

solved it.
What can be done, to prevent the occurance of this?
Thomas

It occurs only once, while upgrading indi-mi, which has been recently separated from vendor libraries included in libmicam. All the subsequent upgrades will go smoothly.
