Had seen many of the urls in the first link above but what solved my depends issue was found in the 2nd one.
The workaround solution is at the very end of the page:

sudo dpkg -r indi

followed by:

sudo aptitude install libindi0   (they used apt-get but I prefer aptitude)

I'm almost sure I tried to remove indi with aptitude and apt-get but didn't try dpkg -r indi which worked. The depends broke the apt-get and aptitude remove indi command; I think because the order wasn't followed correctly to satisfy the depends, IMO and I never overtly tried to stop the indi server in all cases.
Whether, the indi server was running or not, I know not, but in my case entering the command dpkg -r indi removed indi and allowed be to install livindi0 and all is well.
I'll now play with KDE 4.3 until I'm tired of it and decide to uninstall. Thanks for the solution. I hope this helps someone else as all my searching indicated to me there wasn't one.
