I should've paid more attention:
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark (amd64)
together with the Melodic tag and:
I used apt-get install [..]
is the cause here.
None of the Kobuki packages have been released as binaries for ROS Melodic yet.
Unless things have changed very recently, you'll need to build all of the turtlebot (2) stack from source on Melodic. That is possible, but you can/may run into some issues while doing that (see #q305453 for a recent Q&A about that).
The simple packages (such as kobuki_description) will build without issues, but as ROS Melodic uses Gazebo 9 (instead of Gazebo 7), you'll run into issues getting things like kobuki_gazebo_plugins to build.
