------
So you can see the snowball here: putting ROS (robot operating system) into a docker file causes apt-get install to fail because dictionaries-common is somehow broken, because the gnome desktop was being installed, because nvidia-prime needs a gnome desktop, because libhwloc5 needs nvidia, because the C++ boost developemnt libraries need it, because parts of ROS are written in C++. Woooo hooo
