Problems building on Ubuntu 21

[Martin West]

So I downloaded the source tarball  and followed the instructions to build kstars and encounter the following problems

Package kdoctools-dev 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

Package kio-dev 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: Package 'kio-dev' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'kdoctools-dev' has no installation candidate


------------------------------------------

 git clone --depth 1 git://anongit.kde.org/kstars.git
Cloning into 'kstars'...
fatal: remote error: Please use the https: protocol to connect to anongit

sudo apt install kdoctools5
sudo apt install libkf5doctools-dev libkf5doctools5
----------------------------------------------------------------

 sudo cmake install
[sudo] password for andrew:
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/andrew/Projects/build/kstars/install" does not exist.

Couldnt find a TZRules.dat in the tar ball or the git clone

At which point I gave up
