Hi.

Following the tutorial:

http://gazebosim.org/wiki/Tutorials/1.9/InstallinggazeborosPackages#Installgazeborospkgs

The install command returns me an error message:

arnaud@hercules:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-control
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

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-hydro-gazebo-ros-control : Depends: ros-hydro-gazebo-ros but it is not going to be installed
 ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-pkgs : Depends: ros-hydro-gazebo-plugins but it is not going to be installed
                             Depends: ros-hydro-gazebo-ros but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Everything else has been successful before that (ROS is working and Gazebo alone is there). I have re-installed Ubuntu from scratch just before.

To be notice: the Gazebo install command requested me to remove the ros-hydro-desktop-full package.

Thx for the support. I switch to the source install in the meantime.

EDIT:

The build process failed:

So I'm stuck for this evening. :(

EDIT2:

The following packages are removed after the gazebo install:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  ros-hydro-desktop-full ros-hydro-gazebo-plugins ros-hydro-gazebo-ros
  ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-control ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-hydro-simulators

And that's the package with involved in the missing dependencies. So how to install them?

This is probably due to the same issue as this question: http://answers.gazebosim.org/question/4630/problem-with-loading-gazebo-in-ros/. Best is to wait until the ROS repository is updated. Alternatives can be found in said question.

Thanks for the tip and the point to correct place for information. Let me add, for a working installation as soon as possible, I will try to install gazebo-1.9 (check the above link for details), it should fix gazebo-ROS integration.
