I am attempting to install ROS Electric on an iMX53 Quick Start board running Lucid Linux 10.04. It is an ARM Cortex A8. I am following the directions for Lucid at http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/Ubuntu. Everything goes well until:

"sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full"

returns: "E: Couldn't find package ros-electric-desktop-full"

Suggestions? My skill level is high and I have previously successfully installed Electric on Maverick on an x86.

Did you update the sources list? Is it correct? Did you apt-get upgrade?

Yes, You say "sudo apt-get upgrade" but I did "sudo apt-get update" per the instructions. Is that the problem? I don't have enough Karma to upload a screen shot, but in the Lucid "Software Sources, Other Software" tab; the item "http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu lucid main" is checked.

I searched for this problem and saw nothing. Now, on the right, I see this issue http://answers.ros.org/question/1776/error-while-successful-sudo-apt-get-install-ros. Is it possible this is a mirror issue too? I'll look around for a way to change the mirror. I'm not a Linux expert yet.

I meant apt-get update, not upgrade.

I'm not sure you can get Cortex A8 precompiled .debs. AFAIK, only i386 and amd64 are packaged right now. See also http://www.ros.org/debbuild/electric.html

You will have to build from source, see http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/Ubuntu/Source

Agreed. There are some debs available for ARM, but not nearly the full set that are available on x86. See http://ros.org/debbuild/electric.html for the current build status.

Problem with Ubuntu 64 bits 14.04.LTS After using " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full or only using :sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full " I get error this. E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I try to solve this problem by following these below command in Terminal: sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

But still I get same Error in Ubuntu 14.04.LTS system. Could any body give any helpful tips to get rid of this problem.

Hello - I'm not an expert, and I'm definitely running a different system, but encountered a similar problem: running Ubuntu 11.10, ran through the tutorials (http://ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/Ubuntu) and when I ran the 'sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full' command I got the error:"E: Couldn't find package ros-electric-desktop-full". I ran 'sudo apt-get update' not once but three times. After running the update the third time in a row, it found the package. As I said, not sure it's the same problem but wanted to share in case it helps.
