1 | initial version |
I finally fixed this problem. I still do not think this is a solution, but so far it has not given me any trouble.
The problem is certainly rooted on the version of openni-dev package. I have no idea why the version currently online is 1.3.2 ...either way, this causes the package "ps-engine" to fail to install since it requires openni-dev 1.5.4 or later.
However, I installed aptitude and installed the openni-dev 1.3.2 and forced an install of an old version of ps-engine (5.2)... this however appears to play well with the PCL drivers and hence with the rest of ROS. I have however not tested this functionality, so I might run into other problems later.
Please read this thread for a full description of this: http://www.pcl-users.org/PCL-installation-unmet-dependency-problem-td4030129.html
Final commands used:
sudo aptitude install ps-engine
This will ask if it is OK to install the old version of ps-engine with the old openni-dev package (1.3) - press Y on this question. After this
sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-desktop
Will complete without major problems.
I hope this helps other people with this problem.
Thanks!
