Can you install other ROS pkgs using apt? What is the output of uname -a? Have you ran sudo apt update recently?

i've run sudo apt update. I can't install any ros package.

If you can't install any ROS packages then I would guess you haven't setup your system correctly.

Which installation guides (if any) did you follow?

What is the output of

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list

The problem most likely is that you've configured your system to ask the ROS package repositories for Ubuntu Precise (ie: 14.04) while you are actually running Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) -- or at least according to your question title.

I'm not sure how that happened, but you should be able to correct this situation using the following command:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Note that this will override whatever you have now in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list.

Did you follow the installation tutorial for ROS Kinetic on Ubuntu Xenial?

Yes I followed http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... for Ros Kinetic on Ubuntu Xenial. After I run this comment

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

The output has overridden which resulted is :

deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu xenial main

But cannot install rosbridge package yet. Any other suggestion please?

Did you run sudo apt-get update before trying to install again?

gvdhoorn ( 2019-06-06 02:55:03 -0500 )edit

After running sudo apt-get update and try to install again, now it perfectly worked. Thank a lot you saved my time.

Sure. Done sir
