Stuck installing ros-melodic-pcl-conversions
-
Hello
I have installed ROS in VOXL 2 board using the instructions in the link https://docs.modalai.com/ros-installation-voxl2/.
When I tried installing ros-melodic-PCL-conversions it took more than 30 minutes trying to install python-twisted-coreAre there any alternatives or steps I am missing ...

@vicky-s-karthik mind posting the exact commands that you ran?
ROS melodic is fully deprecated - so my recommendation is to move over to ros2 foxy which is what we support on the voxl2 as of right now. I will try and recreate your issue in the meantime. Please try installing ros melodic base as the cv2 instance on there conflicts with opencv on voxl-sdk.

The voxl2 board has the Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS OS on it.
So I installed ROS Medolic as mentioned in https://docs.modalai.com/ros-installation-voxl2/Then I tried installing the ros packages using the following command
sudo apt-get install -y ros-melodic-pcl-ros ros-melodic-pcl-conversions
but the installation is getting stuck at Setting up python-twisted-core (17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3)I ran tail -f /var/log/dpkg.log to check the status which showed
configure python-twisted-core:all 17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3 <none>
status half-configured python-twisted-core:all 17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3 -

Due to project requirements, I cannot change the OS version
