I installed the ros-kinetic-ros-base package for ROS on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system and started an upgrade with the version of ubuntu-release- upgrader from -proposed and was presented with the following message:
The Robot Operating System (ROS) is installed It appears that ROS is currently installed. Each ROS release is very strict about the versions of Ubuntu it supports, and Ubuntu upgrades can fail if that guidance isn't followed. Before continuing, please either uninstall ROS, or ensure the ROS release you have installed supports the version of Ubuntu to which you're upgrading. For ROS 1 releases, refer to REP 3: https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html For ROS 2 releases, refer to REP 2000: https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.html Are you sure you want to continue? Subsequently, I'm setting the tags to verification-done. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611737 Title: Can't upgrade from a release if ros packages are installed from ROS servers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1611737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
