I suggest you review the thread but the quick
answer is to remove "indi" and install libindi0:
Use "sudo dpkg -r indi" and "sudo aptitude install libindi0"
Note the it's a zero and not an O in libindi0.
I don't know why you need dpkg -r to remove indi
Instead of using aptitude remove but that's what 
worked for me.  There were several links give by
NoOp in that thread on the issue so if the one I 
used doesn't work for you, one of the others should.
