Gazebo install fails on RPi / U22 Jammy / ROS2 Humble

[JHPHELAN]

ubuntu@LINOROBOT:/tmp$ bash install_linorobot2.bash 4wd ydlidar realsense ... E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install apt: command [sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs] failed

Trying directly: ubuntu@LINOROBOT:/tmp$ sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs also fails

according to https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/issues/1158 chapulina commented on Sep 9, 2020 Board: Raspberry Pi4 4Gb of RAM ros foxy on a Rpi4 This is the problem, gazebo-ros-pkgs is only available for amd64:

Confirmed by looking in: http://packages.ros.org/ros2/ubuntu/pool/main/r/ros-foxy-gazebo-ros-pkgs/

ros--desktop-full is reported to contain gazebo. It is NOT available.
whereas ros--desktop does not. IS available for humble. Need a work-around to install gazebo under ROS2 Humble / U22 Jammy / Raspberry Pi 4B-8GB

This looks relevant: https://github.com/osrf/gazebo/issues/3236#issuecomment-1204137725

There is now a PPA listed here: https://github.com/osrf/gazebo/issues/3236 that allows you to install Gazebo on a Pi. However the script still fails to run as ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs doesn't exist.

It looks like ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs will never exist officially for Arm. Workarounds here: https://github.com/gazebosim/gazebo-classic/issues/3236#issuecomment-1331053760

Essentially just add the PPA https://launchpad.net/~openrobotics/+archive/ubuntu/gazebo11-non-amd64

Hey @samuk I don't think it's also ideal to run Gazebo on PI anyway.
