Installing from software failed with unresolvable dependencies

As yakkety is not a supported OS at this point, rosdep will not be able to resolve any dependencies for it.

I cannot guarantee this will work, but you could try to see whether overriding the os detection lets you continue the build. In a terminal:

export ROS_OS_OVERRIDE=ubuntu:16.04

See wiki/ROS/EnvironmentVariables - ROS_OS_OVERRIDE for more info.

Then start rosdep as:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic --os=ubuntu:16.04

This will only work if Yakkety using the same package names as Xenial, and if those packages also install the same / similar enough files.

note: faking / circumventing OS detection like this is not something that I'd normally recommend. Please understand what you are doing before attempting this.
