Issues installing openni packages in ROS Groovy/Hydro

edit

Hi everyone,

As per the last update of ROS Hydro, I have compatibility issues with OpenNI packages. It seems to me that not all packages released in the standard distribution are using OpenNI as a system dependency, so I keep getting conflicts in apt-get.

I just uninstalled ROS Hydro and Groovy, as well as OpenNI. When reinstalling ROS Hydro, I see the package "openni-dev" is being installed along with everything else. When I try to install "ros-hydro-openni-*", however, I get the following error:

georgebrindeiro@r2d2:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openni-*
Reading package lists... Done

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:
 ros-hydro-openni-camera : Depends: libopenni0 but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: libopenni-dev but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: libopenni-sensor-primesense-dev but it is not going to be installed
 ros-hydro-openni-tracker : Depends: libopenni0 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libopenni-dev but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libopenni-nite-dev but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libopenni-sensor-primesense-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

libopenni* and openni-dev seem to be mutually exclusive. If I try to remove openni-dev, however, apt-get requires me to remove PCL and loads of packages. I am assuming the problem is with the openni packages... How do we solve this?

EDIT: This is also happening with ROS Groovy
