ROS Installation error ( ROS Kinetic in Ubuntu 16.04 ) - ubuntu-16.04

The sequence of steps listed in http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... have been followed. (Trying to install ROS kinetic in Ubuntu 16.04) Error when entering the following command :
$sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: ros-kinetic-desktop-full : Depends: ros-kinetic-desktop but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-kinetic-perception but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-kinetic-simulators but it is not going to be installed Depends: ros-kinetic-urdf-tutorial but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I had the same problem because I have installed Gazebo before ROS.
If you have done the same thing, then you might get this error.
You can simply uninstall Gazebo and its dependencies, and then try installing the full version of ROS. Gazebo is usually included in the full versions of ROS. If it is not included in your version, then after installing ROS, you can install Gazebo.
Remove Gazebo:
sudo apt-get remove gazebo9
"gazebo9" has to be replaced with your version of Gazebo.
And then remove its dependencies
sudo apt-get autoremove
This command will remove all the unnecessary dependencies. After that, install ROS using the official documentation. Hope this will help you.
Note: ROS full versions comes with Gazebo

After upgrading ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 I run into the same issue. Adding following package sources to /etc/apt/sources.list worked for me. So just do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list copy paste following lines. Apply steps from 1.2 to 1.7 in this link

sudo aptitude install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
aptitude will display solutions to the unmet dependencies. Just keep hitting 'n' until you get one that installs ros (without wiping out something you need).
aptitude vs apt-get -the way software should function.

I solved the problem by installing ros-kinetic-desktop first, and then ros-kinetic-desktop-full.
Recently I have reinstalled my system (Ubuntu/Lubuntu 16.04) and then ROS several times. As I can remember, installing only ros-kinetic-desktop never cause any problem, but installing ros-kinetic-desktop-full always throw "no catkin_pkg error" when I invoking catkin_make. (It can be solved by pip install catkin_pkg.)
This time I installed ros-kinetic-desktop-full in LXLE (based on Lubuntu 16.04) and got the "unmet dependencies error". I solved it as mentioned at the beginning. (But the "no catkin_pkg error" still needs the pip solution.)

I had this problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04. My problem turned out to be a corrupted python-catkin-pkg.
In general the fix is... just try to install one of those dependencies, and a dependency of the dependency, in a depth-first search fashion. Eventually you will get a package that installs but the dependent package will not. The one that installs successfully is your corrupt package. Remove it and try to install ros again. Repeat if there are more corrupt packages.
It might be worth a try to uninstall ros and any related packages you installed with it, then running sudo apt-get autoremove, then reinstalling all of your ros stuff. I didn't test this though.

I got the same error when I was installing ROS Melodic Morenia on ubuntu 18.04. After I recursively tried to install the unmatched dependency, I found installed libopenjp2-7 pakcage version unmatched the required version, which was 2.3.0-1-Xenial but required 2.3.0-1. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, ROS installed successfully. My ubuntu 18.04 was ungraded from 16.10, maybe it was the cause.

Configure your Ubuntu repositories properly and try further.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
Configure your Ubuntu repositories to allow "restricted," "universe," and "multiverse." You can follow the Ubuntu guide for instructions on doing this.
If not you can look into earlier python versions and dependencies.

If there is an update on your Linux, you should take it. And then follow the instructions in order. You may need to open new terminal windows after installation.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mongodb-enterprise-server : Depends: libsensors4 (>= 1:3.0.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libsnmp30 (>= 5.7.3+dfsg-1.8ubuntu3.3~dfsg) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
How can I resolve this?
MongoDB provides binary packages for some operating systems. Ubuntu 20.04 is not an operating system that the packages are available for.
You may be able to get MongoDB running on 20.04 by downloading and installing the packages it wants manually (for example, libsnmp30 and libsensors4).
If there has been, for example, a C library upgrade between 18.04 and 20.04, the 18.04 packages may not be usable on a 20.04 system, and this won't work.
If the question is for a production environment and you are using the enterprise edition of MongoDB you should probably stick with the supported operating systems like Ubuntu 18.04. If this is for a development environment, you could run MongoDB in Ubuntu 18.04 in Docker.
I have added the issue in MongoDb Zira issues and got the solution over there.
Here is the link to that:

Can not install pgadmin4 in ubuntu based distribution

Seems there is an issue while installing pgadmin4 for postgress db. I tried to follow these instructions but at the end I get
Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt focal-pgdg InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
Does anybody know what is the issue ?
I am using Pop Os 20.04
Ubuntu expects repositories to have all architectures by default. As there are no packages for i386 this results in the error you're seeing.
To fix this, you have to tell apt which architectures to expect, so your pgdg.list should look like this:
deb [arch=amd64] http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt NAME-pgdg main
NAME would be the output of lsb_release -cs.
Note 2020-05-05: Judging from your distro name, it's based on Ubuntu 20.04. There are no pgAdmin4-packages for focal yet. Installing from the eoan repo fails because of missing libpython3.7 :(
You need to edit your pgdg.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list
there is a line in the file thats says : deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ focal-pgdg main
change it to deb [arch=amd64] http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ focal-pgdg main save the file and all you have to do now is a : sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Dependency issues while installing postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)

There are some dependency problems while installing postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) after 2.5.3 version (which is published to PostgreSQL Apt Repo a couple days ago). The reason is that now postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 (version 2.5.3+dfsg-2.pgdg16.04+1) requires libgeos-c1v5 (>= 3.7.0) but the latest version of libgeos-c1v5 is 3.5.0-1ubuntu2 for Ubuntu Xenial (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libgeos-c1v5). I can upgrade to bionic (18.04 LTS) but the same problem exists since it brings version 3.6.2. 19.04 is not an option for me at the moment.
Is there a way to install libgeos-c1v5 >= 3.7.0 or install postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 2.5.2 on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) using apt?
The steps to reproduce it locally on a Docker container:
docker run -it ubuntu:xenial /bin/bash
apt update
apt install -y curl
echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
curl https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add -
apt update
apt install postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 postgresql-10-postgis-2.5-scripts

We faced similar issue with Ubuntu 18 when trying to install postgresql-9.6-postgis-2.5. We had to install the experimental version 3.7 to get it working.
libgeos-3.7.0_3.7.0-1_bionic0_amd64
libgeos-c1v5_3.7.0-1_bionic0_amd64.deb
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-experimental/+build/15675841
However, I'm not sure if you can get this for xenial.
Hope this helps, thanks.
Update:
We now have the updated version of libgeos in bionic repo, hope the updated version was released for xenial as well, thanks.

How to install VSCODE on debian 9? Nothing works

I'm trying to install Visual studio code.
My Raspb. Version is:
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.8 (stretch)
Release: 9.8
Codename: stretch
I tried several method (starting to download .deb and using dpkg or install command) but nothing worked.
How can I fix this problem? I really need VSC because my project is growing and Geany messes up.
Downloaded .deb and .tar files from the official site, followed the setup instruction but I got this error

I'm getting mad about this problem, I tried older repository but they don't work.
There are Community builds of Visual Studio Code available (for Raspberry Pi and other ARM and Intel systems).
The packages are currently available in DEB and RPM format. You can use the scripts provided here to install the packages and add their repository to your system or install it manually.
Below I summarized the steps:
Open a new terminal. If you need super-user rights (you probably do), then you can enter sudo -s and press return to enter a super-user session. Run the installer for your current distribution:
APT instructions
(including Debian, Raspbian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint)
. <( wget -O - https://code.headmelted.com/installers/apt.sh )
Press the return key. Once the installer has completed, you should have a "Code - OSS" entry in your desktop program list.
Manual installation
If for any reason the script above will not work on your system, or you do not want to add the package source for updates, you can get the latest version of the package for your system below.
Public GPG key
For either APT or YUM installation, you'll want the public GPG key to verify the package, which you can download here.
APT and YUM packages
The latest packages are available directly from the PackageCloud releases page.
The specific package you need is available here.
EDIT:
At this time (29.04.2019) the current release (v. 1.32) appears not to be working for everybody. See: issue#64. Seems that you'll have to go back to v. 1.29, which is reported to be running fine.
You can choose this package and install it manually, or use APT. If you decide to install it via APT, note that you'll have to mark the package on hold as described below.
To prevent code-oss from upgrading (so that you can keep v. 1.29 until the issue is fixed) follow these instructions:
Install v. 1.29 via APT:
apt-get install code-oss=1.29.0-1539702286
Then mark it on hold by running:
apt-mark hold code-oss
Now running apt-get upgrade won't try to bump it up until you run:
apt-mark unhold code-oss
This will allow it to upgrade again as usual.

I've tried various things, and nothing seems to let me install postgres
I was facing same problem in my ubuntu 16.04
but i fixed that problem and it's very simple just follow these step and you will be able to install postgresql 10 in your system :
Add this to your sources.list:
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
after that add these link to your pgdg.list file if it's not there you have to create and add link and save it.
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg main
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main
then update your system
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and install that unmet dependencies :
apt-get install ssl-cert
that's it. now Install postgresql using these command
sudo apt-get install postgresql-10
#JosMac pointed out that I am running Ubuntu 14.04 instead of 16.04 as I had thought.
I was still running into similar errors, but I just ended up installing the rails-dev-box (https://github.com/rails/rails-dev-box) way which uses yakkety64, and seems to work.
