Hi, I'm new to ROS.

I want to install roslib but I can't. Here is what I get from running apt-get install :

sudo apt-get install python-roslib
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-roslib : Depends: catkin but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt-get install catkin
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
catkin : Depends: python-catkin-pkg but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt-get install python-catkin-pkg
python-catkin-pkg est déjà la version la plus récente (0.4.23-100).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Can someone help me ?

The cause of your problem is that python-roslib is not the correct package name.

For Kinetic, it would be ros-kinetic-roslib.

The package you're trying to install (ie: python-roslib) would be one of the wiki/UpstreamPackages, which are incompatible with the regular ROS packages. That's why you get those errors.

See "upstream packages" increasingly becoming a problem on ROS Discourse for a related discussion.
