How did you install ROS? Using apt?

If so, did you install ros-kinetic-desktop-full or ros-desktop (or similar packages)? Note the difference: the first includes kinetic in the name, the second doesn't.

I'm asking as on a ros-kinetic-desktop-full installation, rosversion -d returns:

kinetic

with the other install option (ie: ros-desktop), I get:

Debian

If you installed ros-desktop, you'll want to uninstall that and install the regular Kinetic (provided you are on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)).

The "other packages" are part of the upstream packages.
