At least for python-catkin-pkg
and python-catkin-pkg-modules
it turned out that the OP had a allow-downgrade
file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/
that pinned the priority of all Ubuntu repositories (ie: official ones) to 1001
.
As python-catkin-pkg
is also provided by the Ubuntu repositories (via Debian and the UpstreamPackages), the higher priority of the Ubuntu repositories caused apt
to only want to install the 0.2.10-2
version and not the most recent one (at this point in time: 0.4.8-100
).
Removing the allow-downgrade
file at least resolved the python-catkin-pkg
problem, but additional issues with apt
then popped up.
