need executing bag_to_pcd: broken packages on Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid)

Question

Hey everyone,

my final aim is simply to convert a .bag file to .pcd I found out that there is a simple command for that:

rosrun pcl_ros bag_to_pcd   

for that I need ros installed, I followed the tutorial instructions, but running

apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full

it found many broken packages

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  ros-electric-desktop-full: Depends: ros-electric-eigen (= 1.6.0-s1323552432~lucid) but it is not going to be installed
                             Depends: ros-electric-geometry-tutorials (= 0.1.3-s1323570867~lucid) but it is not going to be installed

E: Broken packages

so I installed just ros-electric-ros-base but that didn't contain pcl_ros package which I need. I tried installing ros-electric-perception-pcl because I thought that it's going to have pcl_ros inside but I got another broken packages report.

Can you help me with this, what should I try? Different linux dist to install ros, or convert bag to pcd differently?

Thanks a lot,

Michal

Answer 1

You are correct that ros-electric-perception-pcl does contain the pcl_ros package with the bag_to_pcd tool. What you are doing should work.

Since it does not, there is probably some simple mis-configuration. Please check your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list, and make sure it contains "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu lucid main". Then, check all the other steps in the Ubuntu install instructions.

Thanks for suggestions. I went through all the installation steps again and I still believe there is a problem with libeigen3-dev where I have newer version and it's somehow not compatible.

Answer 2

The problem for me was really a newer version of libeigen3-dev installed on my computer.

Using "sudo aptitude install ros-electric-desktop-all" instead of ..apt-get.. resolved the problem since aptitude worked out that it needs to downgrade libeigen3-dev and did it.

thanks a lot
