Description

I'm encountering an issue when trying to install the ros-humble-isaac-manipulator-bringup package via APT. The installation fails due to unmet dependencies related to nvBlox:

ros-humble-nvblox-examples-bringup is not installable.

ros-humble-nvblox-ros is not installable.

The error message from APT reports held broken packages and states that some required packages have not yet been created or moved out of Incoming. This effectively blocks the installation and use of the manipulator bringup package, as it's impossible to satisfy its dependencies.

Summary:

The ros-humble-nvblox-ros and ros-humble-nvblox-examples-bringup APT packages are broken or missing.

This directly impacts downstream packages like ros-humble-isaac-manipulator-bringup, which cannot be installed from APT.

Steps to Reproduce:

Run sudo apt-get install -y ros-humble-isaac-manipulator-bringup

Observe that APT reports broken/missing nvBlox dependencies, preventing installation.

Expected Behavior:
The APT packages should be available and installable, allowing users to install the manipulator bringup package and its dependencies successfully.

Actual Behavior:
APT reports broken dependencies and missing packages, resulting in installation failure.

Please look into publishing or fixing the nvBlox APT packages, as this issue blocks installation of the entire manipulator stack.

Reproduce the failure with sudo apt-get install -y ros-humble-isaac-manipulator-bringup and inspect the availability of ros-humble-nvblox-ros and ros-humble-nvblox-examples-bringup. The issue is done when the nvBlox packages can be installed through APT and the manipulator bringup package installs successfully.
