apt-get install openni-dev removes most of ROS Hydro [closed]
I'm in a situation where I need to install openni-dev on Ubuntu with a pre-existing and working installation of Hydro. The problem is that when I run sudo apt-get install openni-dev, I get this message saying that it will be removing a lot of my ROS packages. I accepted once and my ROS install was completely broken. Is there any way to get around this weird behaviour?
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Are you sure you need
openni-dev? I believe that package has been renamedlibopenni-devwhich you already have installed. It seems that is likely the conflicting package. https://wiki.ccs.neu.edu/display/GPC/...When I'm confronted with situations like this, I find that using
aptitudeinstead ofapt-getoften gives me a better understanding of why I am having conflicts, and it presents me with several alternatives for how to resolve the conflicts.ill give aptitude a go, I'm trying to install the python-pcl package, and its complaining. ill also see whether I can modify the build of that to look for libopenniv-dev.
from aptitude: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libopenni0 : Conflicts: openni-dev but 1.3.2.1-4+precise2 is to be installed.
That link you posted has resolved the openni dependency, I'll try figure the rest out.
