    Hi I want to use mavros on the sentinel drone, but when I follow this documentand tried:

    apt install -f ros-melodic-mavros ros-melodic-mavros-extras ros-melodic-control-toolbox
    

    I got this error:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     ros-melodic-mavros : Depends: libeigen3-dev but it is not going to be installed
                          Depends: ros-melodic-eigen-conversions but it is not going to be installed
                          Depends: ros-melodic-tf2-eigen but it is not going to be installed
     ros-melodic-mavros-extras : Depends: ros-melodic-tf2-eigen but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    
    

    I did got ros melodic running on the drone and I checked the voxl-configure-pkg-manage, and update afterward. But I'm still not able to get mavros installed.

    voxl-configure-pkg-manager
    
    Which repository do you want to use?
    stable  - recommended for most users
    staging - packages under testing for next sdk release
    sdk-X.Y - Specific SDK release
    dev     - recommended for ModalAI development team only
    
    1) dev	    3) sdk-0.7	5) sdk-0.9  7) staging
    2) sdk-0.6  4) sdk-0.8	6) sdk-1.0
    #? 6
    Using repo: sdk-1.0
    
    

    Any recommendation?
