ERROR: cannot download default sources list from:

You should check your networking for proxies or other issues.

If you need to you can manually copy the files into the correct location.

root@0c988f5d8e4c:/# cat /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list 
# os-specific listings first
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml osx

# generic
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/base.yaml
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/python.yaml
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/ruby.yaml
gbpdistro https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte

# newer distributions (Groovy, Hydro, ...) must not be listed anymore, they are being fetched from the rosdistro index.yaml instead

You will also get this error if your ssl certificates are unavailable.

Hi, I had been facing the same issue of ERROR: cannot download default sources list from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros... Website may be down.

This error is because of your system date & time settings. I corrected my systems date and time settings and rosdep init worked.
