This bug has one year and a half and has not been resolved? Oh come on, Canonical, at least pull the thing off the repositories. Using Ubuntu 15.10 amd64 and I can't believe how this bug could still exist.
For people who do not have a kinect to test or understand, I think this explains it well enough: http://robotica.unileon.es/mediawiki/index.php/PCL/OpenNI_tutorial_1:_Installing_and_testing "PrimeSense drivers: they were released as open source after the the OpenNI project was created, along with the motion tracking middleware, NITE, and the SDK. NI stands for Natural Interaction, and the project tried to enforce a common standard for human input using Kinect-like sensors. These official drivers are used by ROS (the Robot Operating System, a massive collection of libraries and tools for robotic researchers) and PCL (the Point Cloud Library, with everything needed for 3D point cloud processing). Sadly, version 2.0 of the OpenNI SDK dropped support for Kinect on Linux due to licensing issues, so for now PCL relies on legacy 1.x versions. Also, Apple bought PrimeSense on November 2013, and on April 2014 OpenNI's webpage was closed. The source is now being maintained by a third party."
