Unable to install ros-noetic-effort-controllers "E: Internal Error, ordering was unable to handle the media swap" [closed]

edit

Hi! When trying to install the package effort_controllers in controller-manager (I am on ros noetic) via sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-effort-controllers I get the error:

E: Internal Error, ordering was unable to handle the media swap

The same happens when trying to install other packages from controller-manager, such as force-torque-sensor-controller, although joint-state-controller does get installed. After searching around, I found the following solutions:

(1) Tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get update

(2) Working around the problem by installing apt-fast,which acts as a wrapper for apt-get and seems to make the download process more resilient. https://github.com/ilikenwf/apt-fast. However, this does also not work since when I try sudo apt-fast install ros-noetic-effort-controllers I get the error message:

[ERROR] CUID#7 - Download aborted. URI=http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubunt... Exception: [AbstractCommand.cc:351] errorCode=3 URI=http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubunt... -> [HttpSkipResponseCommand.cc:218] errorCode=3 Resource not found

Any other suggestions? Or idea how to fix the apt-fast error? Or cause of the problem? (I feel like it has something to do with a dodgy server)
