I'm installing ROS kinetic from source code on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, by following instructions on http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat...

However when I proceed to below step, I got strange errors.

$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved

The problem is solved by upgrading system libraries. And below tools are in the upgrade list:

  • python-catkin-pkg
  • python-rosdep
  • python-rosdistro
  • python-rosinstall
  • python-rosinstall-generator
  • python-rospkg
  • python-vcstools
  • python-wstool

After the upgrade, all worked smoothly.
