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

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. ---

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 ---
