Unable to install indigo on ubuntu 14.04
Hi all, i am new to ROS. I was trying to install ros-indigo-desktop-full on my ubuntu 14.04 64 bit machine as per the instruction at http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installati... . But i am having some issues :
baila@baila:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: ros-indigo-desktop-full : Depends: ros-indigo-desktop but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-perception but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-simulators but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Please help me what to do! I am also attaching the output of uname.
baila@baila:~$ uname -m x86_64 baila@baila:~$ uname -a Linux baila 3.13.0-66-generic #108-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 7 15:20:27 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks in advance.
This happens because ros-indigo-desktop-full is trying to install other packages (dependencies) but those packages will conflict with some other packages that are already installed. You need to check the dependencies of the package listed and compare with the installed packages you have.
Just in case, have you previously installed other ROS or Gazebo?
No, i was trying this for first time. How to detect those conflicted packages?
try with aptitude instead of apt-get and post the suggested solutions here. Be very careful before accepting anything there unless you study, what it wants to do.
I tried with aptitude. It manages to install indigo, but i can't move forward with the test of existing projects. So i figured it out that there are graphics card driver related problem. I formatted my machine. And it is working fine.
