Bug 363639

When I start Kstars an error box with the statement "Python process that updates the supernova information failed with error code 1" comes up.  If I click on that box, KStars appears to start normally, but when I go into the device manager, nothing shows up, even though I have an ST-i camera connected.  KStars did work with this device  before, but now does not.  Under Ekos, the ST-i likewise does not show up.  Does this mean that the error prevents KStars from loading completely?  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start KStars
2.  Click on error box that always comes up (whether or not ST-i is connected)
3.  No devices show up in Device manager.


Expected Results:  
Well, I expect that KStars would show the ST-i as a device, and allow me to "run the service".  It doesn't.   I know that it looks like I am reporting two bugs (the error box, and no ST-i connection), but as I mentioned before, with an earlier version of KStars I did connect with the ST-i and actually took images with Ekos.

I do have the indi drivers installed, and they are regularly updated (seems they are updated everyday).  The ST-i is recognized when it connects, with the following output from dmesg:
