Suposing that catkin was automatically installed with noetic, when I used catkin_make, the command was not found. I tried to install catkin but I received :

The following packages have unset dependencies:
    catkin: Depends: python3-catkin-pkg (>= 0.4.14-2)but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The package python3-catkin-pkg (0.4.24-100) is really installed.

What can I do?

Pls make sure not to forget to source.

Also check prior answers: https://answers.ros.org/question/3417...

I did not forget to source. I also had used the same repositories as in question 3417.and that was the result.

Have you tried installing python catkin tools?

sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools

Yes, I did too, and finally arrived to the impossibility aforementioned.

I have repeated the process from the beginning several times and in different ways and always gat the same final result.

It could be a Kubuntu issue not necessarily ROS. Ubuntu is the recommended OS

What is the output of:

  1. lsb_release -a
  2. dpkg -l | grep catkin
  3. after sourceing: which catkin_make

And what does:

I did not forget to source

mean exactly?

Unless you've setup to auto-source (via your .bashrc fi), you'll have to source in every terminal manually. A single time won't work for future terminals.


Edit, just noticed:

I tried to install catkin [..]

how? Which command did you use, exactly?

Note that catkin is not the same package as python3-catkin-pkg.

And the latter is not the package which provides the catkin_make command. That would be ros-noetic-catkin. Are you perhaps mixing in wiki/UpstreamPackages?

Yes, I included source via .bashrc. I used ros-noetic-catkin

The result for dpkg is:

      ii              python3-catkin               0.8.0-1ubuntu2                 all
      ii              python3-catkin-pkg        0.4.16-1                            all

Thank you all for your help. Finally I got everything installed correctly. Bu I don't know yet where was the failure. For sure, as I had included the source into the .bashrc file as a first step, in my first reboot it didn't recognized the path of the source because ths noetic directory did not exist yet. From so on, that source was not registered. Thank you very much indeed and I apologize the time you have dedicated.
