Installation failed, rodep: command not found
I tried to install ros-kinetic-desktop-full on a ubuntu 16.4.
I run :
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
the terminal shows like this (part of it ):

After the process is finished , I run:
$ sudo rosdep init
sudo: rodep: command not found
It seems that ROS is not installed. I tried to install rosdep agan using pip. It seems work. I also tried to install rosdep using apt, the terminal shows:

I'm not sure how, but you seem to have mixed regular ROS packages with UpstreamPackages.
python-roslaunchandpython-roslibare not part of the normal Kinetic distribution.You can verify this by running:
It should point to the Ubuntu package repository, and not to
packages.ros.org.Have you at any point installed
ros-desktop-full? Or any of those packages? That could result in these kinds of problems.@gvdhoorn thank you a lot, but I can't figure out what does the ouput mean:
The output shows you that
python-roslaunchcomes from your Ubuntu mirror, not from the ROS package repositories.With a normal ROS Kinetic installation,
python-roslaunchwould not be installed, and neither wouldpython-roslib.You'll have to uninstall the upstream packages that are conflicting with the normal packages. I'm not entirely sure how automated that could be.
As a quick check: what is the output of
dpkg -l | grep ros-core?@gvdhoorn I run apt-get remove ros-kinetic* and deleted files related to ros by hand. Then I tried to reinstall ros
terminal shows
then I tried aptitude, there is still error like this:
what happened??
That is not what I wrote.
I suggested to remove everything related to the upstream packages. Not the regular
ros-kinetic-*packages.It's likely your system is currently in a state where some packages are newer than what the
ros-kinetic-*packages are built for.I would suggest to remove all packages that come from the upstream packages set (yes, I realise this is vague, but I cannot make it any more concrete) and then try installing
ros-kinetic-ros-base. If that works, you should at least have a minimal set of proper packages to continue with.@gvdhoorn Thanks for ur kind reply but im still stucked。
I cannot figure it out why I got upstream packages and what packages should be removed. Is there anyway I can use ros without reinstall ubuntu?
What is the output of
sudo apt update && sudo apt install ros-kinetic-ros-base?I may have a way to check whether there are any "upstream packages" installed.
As follows:
If this results in any output (ie: prints the name of a package) you would appear to have an upstream package installed. Except
python-rospkgandpython-catkin-pkg, for those you'd need to check the output ofapt-cache policy <pkg_name>. If that doesn't showpackages.ros.orgas the source, it'd be an upstream package.
