Troubles installing ROS C turtle base

Hi there,

I am following step by step the directions reported on this web page to install ROS Cturtle on Ubuntu 10.10. However, when I try to install the package (step 1.4), I received a message like:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ros-cturtle-base

I also tried the other packages (ROS only and PR2), but I got the same message. Same thing if I click on the link suggested on the web page.

What am I doing wrong? I apologize if my question sounds very basic, but I am beginner with Linux and with programming in general.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers, George

Update: Hi guys,

thank you for you reply. I don't know what to say... I tried to re-install everything yesterday (following carefully the directions), and I obtained the same result as before. I tried today, and I got a different error message (see below). I tried multiple times, but I obtained always the same result.

Why this difference? What did I do wrong now? I know that most likely it is my bad, but is it possible that there is some problems in the repository?

Thank you, George

I think you mangled the package sources.

Jaunty is not 10.10.

Can you check your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list (or similar)? It should say maverick and not jaunty.

If that is OK, what does apt-cache policy ros-cturtle-base give you?

Are you sure you ran "sudo apt-get update" before you tried to install the package?

It appears that you have added the jaunty sources into your apt sources not maverick. You need to audit your apt souces and remove references to jaunty and add them for maverick.

It pretty much has to be either the sudo apt-get update (as John Hoare said), or one of the commands from steps 1.2 and 1.3. There are not many things that can go wrong.

If the update does not work, please retry the installation (carefully) once again.
