Normally, after an install of ros-jade-desktop-full on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (trusty) 64-bit, the gazebo 5.0 package is setup to run properly.
I tried to set up a new computer this afternoon, and it is giving me an error because there is no /usr/share/gazebo library.
I know this was working a couple of weeks ago. Has there been a change to debs that busted this?
Attached is screen shot of result:
This after apt-get removing prior attempts, apt-get updating/upgrading, and rebooting. I started install of ros-jade-desktop-full, and redirected to file. The install seems to complete without error, but I have no /usr/share/gazebo folder and no setup files in the /opt/ros/jade folder

Could you edit your post to include the full error that you are seeing?

Normally, the install creates a /usr/share/gazebo-5.0 folder with models and code, and a /usr/share/gazebo folder with setup script that points to the appropriate version of gazebo.
You need to source this to run gazebo stand alone. This folder is not being created.

This morning I removed (sudo apt-get remove ) ros-jade-desktop-full, and tried to re-install.
Now the setup script in /opt/ros/jade is missing.

In my prior (last couple of weeks) installs of ros-jade-desktop-full, it installed gazebo-5.1. Now I notice that it installed 5.0 this morning.

I filed a ticket https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues/10490 in case this is some widespread issue.

I'm a bit confused: is the issue with Gazebo or with ROS? Your question title suggests Gazebo isn't being installed correctly, but your comments suggest you are encountering some issues with ROS itself. For the former, I'd suggest reporting to the Gazebo people, the latter we can deal with here.

As posted on the rosdistro ticket. This started as an issue with the Gazebo5 package embedded in the ROS jade desktop full. After removing and trying a fresh install of ROS this morning, I have an issue with both Gazebo and /opt/ros/jade setup files missing.

What does dpkg -l | grep ros-jade-catkin output?

Between my post of the screen shot, and seeing Dirk's comment, I did a apt-get clean to remove all prior packages. I had not done the after my prior apt-get remove / autoremoves.
After doing that, I was able to install ros and get the setup files. At this point, I have

I still have Gazebo-5.0 installed, when I thought Gazebo 5.1 was the default for Jade, and there was no /usr/share/gazebo folder as I expected based on prior installs
That was the source of my original question.
I get gazebo-3.0 and gazebo-5.0 directories installed with ros-jade-desktop-full
