Has this been addressed yet?

I had a similar issue in the midst of my initial setup on the StellarMate. what I did to fix it was: In the solver/alignment tab within a running Ekos window, Click on Options. That opens the Astrometry window. On the first tab is a "SETUP" button next to the python check box. Click on setup. It will either walk through the installs or tell you they are already installed. I think I had to run it a couple times before my errors went away.

Hope this helps. I am a major newbie.
