ROS Lunar version conflict with Ubuntu 16.04LTS - libcollida-dom2

[John-Nagle]

ROS Lunar has only one install conflict with Ubuntu 16.04LTS, involving libcollida-dom2. The system on which the install was done was running Ubuntu 16.04LTS, updated with the latest Ubuntu updates before ROS install was attempted. Previous versions of ROS had been removed.

During ROS install, Ubuntu reported a system problem:

Package: libcollida-dom2.4-do0 2.4.4+ds1-1.
collida-dom

"An Ubuntu package has a file conflict with a package that is not a genuine Ubuntu package".

At the end of the ROS install, that install reported:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libcollada-dom2.4-dp0_2.4.4+ds1-1_amd64.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libcollada-dom2.4-dp-dev_2.4.4+ds1-1_amd64.deb

This looks a lot like Issue 118 from 2015: #118

That bug was in ROS-Indigo for Ubuntu 14.04. It was fixed there. Looks like it's been broken again.

This broke Ubuntu's package system.

Here's the problem. There's a conflict with OpenHRP, another robot simulator.

@John-Nagle Where did this output come from? It looks like it misspells collAda.

Package: libcollida-dom2.4-do0 2.4.4+ds1-1.
collida-dom

Hi @John-Nagle, I think rdiankov/collada-dom#26 is the best place, so I'll close this issue. Feel free to reopen.
