install desktop-full is not working
if I try sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
it says:
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-kinetic-desktop-full : Depends: ros-kinetic-simulators but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tried everything to solve the broken packages problem but nothing worked.
Have you at any point installed Gazebo stand-alone on this machine? A common cause for these types of errors is a dependency of
ros-kinetic-simulatorsis already installed and is a newer version than what the ROS packages need/want. Ubuntu cannot uninstall that newer dependency and as a result it cannot installros-kinetic-simulatorsfor you.
