Public bug reported: libopenni-sensor-pointclouds0 is installed as part of a larger installation (of ros-indigo-desktop-full, which is maintained by the Open Source Robotics Foundation). When I tried installing the meta package, libopenni-sensor-pointclouds0 failed to install. showing the following error:
Setting up libopenni-sensor-pointclouds0 (5.1.0.41.1-1) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/openni/GlobalDefaults.ini ... niReg: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package libopenni-sensor-pointclouds0 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Poking around on the web, it seems that this is not unheard of, and the recommendation is to sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 which I did, and was able to successfully install the package. But I thought I should report this as (at least) an anomaly. I am running on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM that I just upgraded from 12.04. Perhaps something went amiss with the upgrade? (How would I know, except by running into weird stuff like this.) ** Affects: openni-sensor-pointclouds (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376070 Title: Installation of libopenni-sensor-pointclouds0 failed on Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openni-sensor-pointclouds/+bug/1376070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
