I am trying to download ros package ros-kinetic-desktop using apt-get
. I have set the sources.list and the authentication key as well. However, I am encountering an error that says:
Err:1 http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu xenial/main arm64 ros-kinetic-desktop arm64 1.3.0-0xenial-20170303-020026-0800 404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80]

PS:sudo apt-get download ros-kinetic-desktop
is the exact command I'm using.
Can someone please help me to resolve this. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I am not supposed to use sudo apt-get update
to update my entire cache ( especially the system packages) because the updated packages will crash my proprietary drivers. So, in order to just update the repositories I require, I manually added the ros repository to software and updates applet instead of using apt-get update
. This way I am able to directly install the ros packages using install
but unable to download them and manually install later.

package? – Mark Kirby Mar 23 '17 at 11:09download
a package name? – George Udosen Mar 23 '17 at 11:11download
is the command that goes withapt-get
, just likeinstall
but only downloads the package to a certain location and the package has to be manually installed later.ros-kinetic-desktop
is my package. – samhitha Mar 23 '17 at 11:25
