I want to install pcl on ubuntu16.04. in terminal I typed:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:v-launchpad-jochen-sprickerhof-de/cpl
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libpcl-all

but

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libpcl-all

How can solve it?

it means that package libpcl-all does not existe on repos – Spartan Oct 05 '16 at 13:49 — Spartan, Oct 05 '16 at 13:49

The ppa location you listed appears incorrect. It should be:

ppa:v-launchpad-jochen-sprickerhof-de/pcl

However, apt-cache search libpcl-all returns nothing on my system also running 16.04.

You could use apt-cache search libpcl and maybe choose a different package to install?

The answer from this post installs libpcl-dev (PCL 1.8) from the Ubuntu repo using:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libpcl-dev

This guide provides an alternative installation method for 16.04.
