Unable to update KStars

This is what I get when I try :-

gina@Mint-Desktop ~ $ sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package kstars-bleeding is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Unable to locate package indi-full
E: Package 'kstars-bleeding' has no installation candidate
gina@Mint-Desktop ~ $

These commands worked fine :-
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Help Please.

Hi Gina,

What is the output of:
ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mutlaqja*

We're looking for a file such as "mutlaqja-ubuntu-ppa-focal.list" which would have the following contents:
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu focal main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu focal main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu focal main

Also, when you run "sudo apt update", do you see a line such as:
Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutlaqja/libgphoto2/ubuntu focal InRelease


(These are for Ubuntu Focal, hence the keyword focal in my examples, it might be replaced with another release name if you're running a different release).

xenial is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

16.04 LTS went out of support in April 2021.

I believe that the repository is only building packages for Ubuntu 18.04 or later.

That's true. The two only solutions are to rebuild kstars from source on Xenial, or upgrade the system to the next long-term support with "sudo do-release-upgrade".
