Hi,

I have a problem with Groovy install on Ubuntu 12.10. When I type

sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-desktop-full

I get :

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Please make sure you have done an apt-get update recently. And then try to narrow down exactly which package is failng. Apt is bad in that it just tells you something is failing, not which specific package is failing.

Thanks, but I did the apt-get update. What is a good way to do so ?

I did install it using aptitude, by installing / downgrading the dependencies one by one.

could you share more details on the use of aptitude? is it a time consuming work? should I be better downgrade my Linux to Precise? Thank you!

You don't need to downgrade you Ubuntu to precise. 13.04 should work fine. Aptitude would give you more details on the required packages (and their versions). So you can install the package if it is missing, or downgrade to the required version by typing: sudo aptitude install pkg=version.

You should try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. That will force all packages to be updated and might ask you to remove packages which dependencies are not met anymore.

I had the same problem with a fresh installed system.

Tracing many unmet dependencies I ended up installing libavutil51 (and friends).

After that the install of ros-groovy-desktop is running without problems.

Have not tried -full, but I trust that will work also.

Make sure you have the additional repositories for universe and multiverse. Here is the relevant part from my /etc/apt/sources.list (I can't post links yet due to insufficient karma):

deb http://yourUbuntuDebServer quantal main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://yourUbuntuDebServer quantal main restricted universe multiverse

A simple

apt-get update
apt-get install ros-groovy-desktop-full

should install everything.
