How to install Indiago ROS in Ubuntu14.04.4 (trusty LTS)?

asked 2016-10-26 02:27:04 -0500

Hi All: I am new about ROS but middle in linux. Here is one problem that encountered during the installation of Indiago ROS.

The main steps of installation are following the offical site as shown below: http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installati...

First , I tried to install Indiago-desktop-full by typing the following commands below: sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full which shows the following messages: paultsai@paultsai-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full [sudo] password for paultsai: 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.

In order to fix the dependency issues, I tries to first install ros-indigo-desktop by typing the following commands paultsai@paultsai-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop 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 : Depends: ros-indigo-common-tutorials but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-geometry-tutorials but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-robot but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-ros-tutorials but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-rqt-common-plugins but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-rqt-robot-plugins but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-urdf-tutorial but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-visualization-tutorials but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-indigo-viz but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have tried serveral methods like sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt-get install libsformat1 they seems does not work for me .

paultsai@paultsai-VirtualBox:/mnt/SHARE$ sudo apt-get install libsdformat1 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: libsdformat1 : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.54.0 but it is not installable Depends: libboost-regex1.54.0 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Finally , I also try follow the steps ... (more)

Are you sure you are running Ubuntu 14.04.4? I recently tried to install ROS on 14.04.5 and got some similar errors to yours. I had to go back to 14.04.4 and everything went fine.
