I'm still trying to solve this problem in another question. I decided to uninstall camera_calibration and install it again, see if that helps. However if I try to remove the package with apt-get it also wants to remove the whole ROS! what's the correct way of removing a single package? see output below:

sudo apt-get purge ros-kinetic-camera-calibration

Hi there martina, the packages won't be removed it just says:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

The only packages that will be removed are the ones under:

The following packages will be REMOVED

Meaning only these ones: ros-kinetic-camera-calibration* ros-kinetic-desktop-full* ros-kinetic-image-pipeline* ros-kinetic-perception*

I think you are having the issue because you are using purge, try to use: sudo apt remove ros-kinetic-camera-calibration

I get the same output with remove, instead of purge

Still, as I said, it won't remove all of ROS, just those packages ros-kinetic-camera-calibration* ros-kinetic-desktop-full* ros-kinetic-image-pipeline* ros-kinetic-perception* In the end, just go for it, I've reinstalled ROS maaany times and doing a reinstall is the way to go.
