indi and libindi0 conflict

[Guest]

I am currently in a pickle and hoping for some magic.

It would appear that in the latest version of kstars, that they changed the dependency from indi 0.5 to 0.6. 0.6 is modular, and it also conflicts with 0.5.

I found this bug... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...du/+bug/359517 and it suggests to remove 'indi'.

However I am stuck in a circular dependency issue, I cannot remove or install anything as a result. I have tried removing kdeedu, kstars, and indi and they will not remove due to the dependency issue.

Is there a way to force remove a package? here is what it looks like when trying to remove indi.

sudo apt-get remove indi
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kstars: Depends: libindi0 (>= 0.6) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I cannot install libindi0 until I can get rid of indi. Heck, at this point, I would love to remove kdeedu all together, but it wont let me do that either because of the same dependency issue. Kdeeud depends on kstars, kstars depends on libindi0. Which I cannot install because I cannot get rid of indi.

Any help would be mucho appreciated.
