unable to locate package ros-debian-turtlesim
Am unable to run turtlesim on Ros, so am using windows 10 and using ubantu on my VM.
i ran this command before i got this error "roscore" then "sudo apt-get install ros-$(rosversion -d)-turtlesim"
after that i got this error
"unable to locate package ros-Debian-turtlesim"
PS: i already did the "sudo apt-get update".

How did you install ROS? Using apt?
If so, did you install ros-kinetic-desktop-full or ros-desktop (or similar packages)? Note the difference: the first includes kinetic in the name, the second doesn't.
I'm asking as on a ros-kinetic-desktop-full installation, rosversion -d returns:
kinetic
with the other install option (ie: ros-desktop), I get:
Debian
If you installed ros-desktop, you'll want to uninstall that and install the regular Kinetic (provided you are on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)).
The "other packages" are part of the upstream packages.
