Issue: JetPack installation under Ubuntu 16.04 64bit

As NVIDIA recommends Ubuntu 14.04 64bit for Jetpack installation, there is an error installing OpenCV under Ubuntu 16.04 64bit. You can disable it from Jetpack and continue installing. The issue remains the same for Jetpack 2.3 and 2.3.1 versions.
