Hello, I followed the instructions at the wiki/kinetic. However when going for sudo apt install ros-kinetic-ros-base I got the Unable to locate package ros-kinetic-ros-base error. My sources.list are as follows.

deb http://mirror.pregi.net/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirror.pregi.net/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

I am using a fresh installation and I from the docs Kinetic is supported on Jessie, I also followed and set up my keys. I am legitimately stumped on this problem. Should I just install from source?

can you verify that you followed step 2 and that the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list exists with the proper content? Did you call sudo apt get update before the install?

Yes. I ran sudo apt update multiple times. In the end I just installed ubuntu just to get things running.

Builds of Kinetic for Debian Jessie have been disabled and I've updated the wiki to reflect that: http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... . You can still install from source or install a newer version of ROS on a newer version of Debian or Ubuntu.
