I installed a new 12.04.5 Deskop system (supporting an aging robot configuration) and set up the ROS Precise apt repo.
$ sudo apt-get install python-vcstool

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:
python-vcstool : Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
AFAIK, 12.04.5 isn't going to get Python 2.7.5. It's stuck at:
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
Can the python-vcstool package in the ROS Precise apt repo be rolled back? Is version 2.7.5-5~ actually required, or is that an artifact of a build server decision? Or can you recommend a workaround?
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
The Debian packages are not built by any build server but using the script from https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_release_python which uses stdeb. It seems like that the Debian package embeds this Python version (done on Xenial using stdeb from Debian) which it didn't do before (on Trusty using stdeb from PIP). The following documentation update should prevent future problems: ros-infrastructure/ros_release_python#13
I have also released a new version of vcstool (0.1.17) with this updated process and it has the correct Python dependencies as far as I can see in the Debian control file. If you could please try it and confirm that it works for you too that would be great.
