jetpack 3.3 install opencv error on host

Hi Experts

I began to flash my tx2 with jetpack 3.3. During the install process of opencv 3.3 on host I got this message:

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/ubuntu/Jetpack33/jetpack_download/libopencv_3.3.1_amd64.deb /home/ubuntu/Jetpack33/jetpack_download/libopencv-dev_3.3.1_amd64.deb /home/ubuntu/Jetpack33/jetpack_download/libopencv-python_3.3.1_amd64.deb /home/ubuntu/Jetpack33/jetpack_download/libopencv-samples_3.3.1_amd64.deb

I then did the sudo apt and got the following error message:

Preparing to unpack …/libopencv-dev_3.3.1_amd64.deb …

Errors were encountered while processing:

Any hints?

Thanks,

Looks like you have old 2.4.9 installed on your host. Could you purge it first?

Hi Wayne

Thanks. So I should use:

sudo apt-get purge libcvaux-dev ?

Hello,

Sojohans, were you able to get this resolved. I’m also having the same issue. was wondering if you were able to make it work. Wayne’s suggestion to overwrite doesn’t make sense to me. When I purge libcvaux-dev I get the following.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Hi mascenzi

I used this script instead:

That worked for me…

Perhaps you can check this link, it works well for me.

Run this command prior running JetPack installer.

sudo apt-get purge libhighgui-dev
