While attempting to install Jetpack 3.2 on Jetson TX2 using host pc with ubuntu 16.04, following message pop up and cannot proceed.

Return Code: 1
Error: libopencv-python libopencv-samples  cannot be installed on host. Please manually run following command in terminal to install packages before continuing:
    sudo apt install /home/ladar/jetson/jetpack_download/libopencv_3.3.1_amd64.deb /home/ladar/jetson/jetpack_download/libopencv-dev_3.3.1_amd64.deb /home/ladar/jetson/jetpack_download/libopencv-python_3.3.1_amd64.deb /home/ladar/jetson/jetpack_download/libopencv-samples_3.3.1_amd64.deb

Seems like it fails to install opencv package however I already build installed opencv 3.3.1 on my PC.
I checked it by

$ dpkg -l | grep libopencv

and

$ pkg-config --modversion opencv
3.3.1

Should I just ignore this and press NEXT button?

Kyubot,

Does this happen when you already installed opencv3.3.1 by yourself? I mean if you remove opencv3.3.1 first, could jetpack hits this issue?

Just want to clarify the cause of it. It looks like jetpack does not detect the package you’ve installed.

Hi, I uninstalled the opencv 3.3.1 built myself and also removed packages by
$ sudo apt-get -f install

And to check the current opencv version, I get
$ pkg-config --modversion opencv
2.4.9.1

But the same message still on and cannot proceed. Should I clean install ubuntu 16.04 ?

Following method seems to work

  1. Uninstall pre built opencv3.3.1

  2. try
    $ sudo apt-get -f install

  3. $ apt-get purge libhighgui-dev

Now the opencv in jetpack installed and I can proceed.

We have team to investigate this now.
These thread looks also the same issue. Please refer if any comment can help first.

Thanks!

Hi,
i had the same issue and solved it thanks to @Kyubot

Used this .sh to uninstall opencv, run it more than one times as it uninstalls one library per execution.

sudo apt-get -f install
apt-get purge libhighgui-dev

Thanks

Deniz
