Missing package for ROS indigo with Ubuntu 14.04

[pl95]

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS indigo on Fetch. I tried to installed python3-rospkg earlier, which removed all of my ROS packages. When I tried to re-install all the packages, I found following packages are missing:

fetch-system-config
ros-indigo-fetch-drivers
ros-indigo-fetch-bringup

Since Fetch Robotics won't support upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 18.04 (via 16.04), can you recover all the packages for ROS indigo?

Thank you so much!

Hello,

If you are open to using Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS Melodic, the easiest thing to do will be to re-image the robot by following the instructions here: http://docs.fetchrobotics.com/indigo_to_melodic.html

Otherwise it sounds you may have messed up the sources lists for the apt utility. We would recommend moving to 18.04 per the above steps (which include backing up a few things), but there are some steps regarding the apt sources here: http://docs.fetchrobotics.com/care_and_feeding.html#re-setting-up-apt-sources.

Also, the packages you're looking for are here:
http://packages.fetchrobotics.com/fetch/ubuntu/pool/main/r/

But you can download a 14.04 installer which will have the apt packages setup from here:

But you should as @erelson suggest you should upgrade to 18.04
