Revision history [back]

You're running into ros-infrastructure/catkin_pkg#227 (duplicate with similar error message: ros-infrastructure/catkin_pkg#230).

From that issue: make sure to first update dpkg (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dpkg), as the original version of Ubuntu Trusty does not support LZMA archives in debian pkgs.
