    I'm installing the new SDK 1.0.0 which has voxl-suite 1.0.0. When trying to install ros-melodic-tf2-geometry-msgs I get the following error:

    voxl2:~$ apt install -y ros-melodic-tf2-geometry-msgs
    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-tf2-geometry-msgs : Depends: ros-melodic-orocos-kdl but it is not going to be installed
                                     Depends: ros-melodic-python-orocos-kdl but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    

    I dove into it a little bit more and the issue is that ros-melodic-tf2-geometry-msgs depends on ros-melodic-orocos-kdl which in turn depends on libeigen3-dev.

    But voxl-suite now depends on voxl-feature-tracker which depends on voxl-eigen3 and voxl-eigen3 conflicts with libeigen3-dev:

    voxl2:~$ apt show voxl-eigen3
    Package: voxl-eigen3
    Version: 3.4.0
    Priority: optional
    Section: base
    Maintainer: matt.turi@modalai.com
    Installed-Size: unknown
    Conflicts: libeigen3-dev
    Replaces: libeigen3-dev, lib32-libeigen
    Download-Size: 1014 kB
    APT-Manual-Installed: yes
    APT-Sources: file:/data/voxl-suite-offline-packages ./ Packages
    Description: Eigen3 Library packaged up for APQ
    

    What is the recommended way to get ros-melodic-tf2-geometry-msgs installed? In our case we don't need voxl-feature-tracker. Is there a way to combine it with voxl-eigen3? Or should we just not use voxl-suite?
