My distro is indigo, I'm unable to sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-tutorialsOne solution I read from a different answers.ros.org post https://answers.ros.org/question/3034... suggested upgrading the distribution but I'm hoping there's a better solution?

Thanks for your patience and time.

Indigo has been EOL for many, many years.

Are you absolutely sure you need/want to use that old a ROS distribution?

On-topic: status_page/ros_indigo_default.html?q=ros_tutorials tells me the package is available, so the problem is most likely on your end.

One solution I read from a different answers.ros.org post https://answers.ros.org/question/3034... suggested upgrading the distribution

that's not really what that Q&A suggests. The OP there included the < and > in the name of the distribution and packages he tried to install. That cannot work. The answers there suggest to not include those.

Yeah it's not my first choice either, but it was installed by my company. Thank you for finding the package! Appreciate it!

Yes, I realize that OP's mistake, I was referring to the other answer suggesting running sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

dist-upgrade should not update your system to a "new distribution". That's not what it does. See the man page.

I don't believe a dist-upgrade would help you in this case.

I would suggest to first copy-paste the error / message you are presented with verbatim into your post (edit it).

Right now we cannot help you, as "unable to install" is too vague.
