Public bug reported: I was installing ROS on my laptop running Kubuntu 12.10 with the official procedure:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu quantal main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update apt-get install ros-groovy-desktop-full During the process I got this error: Si sono verificati degli errori nell'elaborazione: //"errors occurred while elaborating: /var/cache/apt/archives/libassimp-dev_3.0~dfsg-1_amd64.deb Then I tried `apt-get -f install` as suggested by apt-get and I got this: ... I seguenti pacchetti saranno inoltre installati: //the following packages will be installed libassimp-dev I seguenti pacchetti NUOVI saranno installati: //the following NEW packages will be installed libassimp-dev ...
