Revision history [back]

Could you clarify which particular OS you are using? Because this (emphasis mine):

if I look inside http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-armhf/Packages

confuses me.

The ROS buildfarm does not build packages of ROS Kinetic for Ubuntu Bionic, no matter the architecture, as ROS Kinetic is only supported on Ubuntu Xenial. Only ROS Melodic is built for Ubuntu Bionic. See also REP-3 (Platforms by Distribution: Kinetic Kame (May 2016 - May 2021))

As for support of armhf platforms: see #q301220 for a more extensive answer, but there are no binary packages available of ROS Kinetic for armhf on Melodic.

Seems like all the kinetic packages have disappeared from the repo

In reality I believe these packages have never been there.
