Hi!

First I upgraded ubuntu to precise. Then I wanted to upgrade from ros-electric to ros-fuerte, with the deb line in sources.list.d/ros-latest.list changed (oneiric to precise).

There is a problem with the package yaml-cpp from ros-fuerte, and I was not able to uninstall the ros-electric version via apt-get remove yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev (apt errors see below). First my solution: for now I forced the installation of the precise package as follows:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/yaml-cpp_0.2.7-5precise-20120502-0513-+0000_amd64.deb

Status is now:

apt-cache policy yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev: Installed: 0.2.6-4~oneiric Candidate: 0.2.6-4~oneiric Version table: * 0.2.6-4~oneiric 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

apt-cache policy yaml-cpp yaml-cpp: Installed: 0.2.7-5precise-20120502-0513-+0000 Candidate: 0.2.7-5precise-20120502-0513-+0000 Version table: * 0.2.7-5precise-20120502-0513-+0000 0 500 http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

then was able to apt-get remove ros-electric-common ros-electric-image-common yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev apt-get --reinstall install yaml-cpp

I would be glad to hear about a cleaner way or if there is some dependencies missing in the deb file ("provides", "conflicts") preventing a clean upgrade. Anyway a parallel installation of electric and fuerte would be nice, but not possible with this conflict.

Here the error while installing ros-fuerte-desktop-full

I had the same problem just now when I upgraded to Percise and Fuerte. I did:

sudo apt-get remove ros-electric*
sudo apt-get autoremove

And then the normal install

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full

All seems to work now ...

Is this all that is needed to upgrade from electric to fuerte?

I did it yesterday and it worked for me. Upgraded Ubuntu to 12.04 Precise first, then had the same issue you did. Then these were the step I did and it worked for me. First remove Electric and all of the old packages, then install Fuerte.

In addition to the already posted:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/yaml-cpp_0.2.7-5precise-20120502-0513-+0000_amd64.deb

I also had to run the following:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libassimp-dev_2.0.863+dfsg-2_amd64.deb

You were having trouble using ROS Electric on Precise because it's not a target platform for Electric. Precise support is only for Fuerte and newer. The target platforms are defined in REP 3
