Problems installing on Ubuntu 18.04

Sorry for another "can't install indi" post - I've read the others and tried many of the solutions...

Like the subject says, I am installing indi/ekos under ubuntu 18.04 (beta as of this writing). I am using 18.04 because I am using a new NUC (june canyon chipset) which from my reading requires the latest kernel modules.

After installing from USB and the subsequent reboot, I performed a sudo apt update followed by sudo apt upgrade to get the latest packages. I rebooted to make all the latest changes active.

I then followed the instructions at indilib.org/forum/general/210-howto-buil...st-libindi-ekos.html.
Here is the complete history
1  history
    2  sudo apt-get update
    3  sudo apt-get upgrade
    4  sudo reboot
    5  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
    6  sudo apt-get update
    7  sudo apt-get install kstars-bleeding
There appears to be a conflict as I received this error:I tired to fix it
sudo apt-get -f install

Then I tried to start with the basics:
sudo apt-get install libindi1

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libindi1 : Depends: indi-bin (>= 1.7.0~201804081350~ubuntu18.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tired to sudo apt install indi-bin and it worked! It installed "Setting up indi-bin (1.7.1-0ubuntu1)"
But indilib1 still won't install
$ sudo apt install libindi1

I'm confused because indi-bin is version 1.7.1
$ sudo apt install indi-bin

indi-bin is already the newest version (1.7.1-0ubuntu1).

Any suggestions? This was a VERY fresh install. No other software installed, just what I documented above.

I did try some solutions from other threads like :
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install libindi1

But I have no held packages: "sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" returns nothing.

Thank you! I was able to sudo apt-get install kstars-bleeding and everything worked.

I am capturing images as I write this.

Awesome software.
