hkastronomy,
It's just one "s" that doesn't need to be in repository ... That's why it doesn't work ...

Otherwise I still have the problem even after desinstalling and reinstalling kstars and indi.

So, here I am ...
I am unsing :
Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
My PC is a :
Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU L2400 @ 1.66GHz
2048 KB RAM

I have a Canon EOS 1300D

I use Kstars Version: 2.9.8
Indi-full is in version: 1.7.6~201812191814~ubuntu16.04.1
Indi-gphoto is in Version: 2.6~201811150004~ubuntu16.04.1

When I am connecting the spot remain in yellow :
