Python Import Error from rospack

edit

Hi peeps,

I'm following along with the ROS tutorials (Creating a Package) and when I run

rospack depends1 beginner_tutorials

I get this error

dev@dev-test-eth1:~/catkin_ws/src$ rospack depends1 beginner_tutorials

[rospack] Error: could not find python module 'rosdep2.rospack'. is rosdep up-to-date (at least 0.10.4)?

I have a miniconda environment configured and I verified that rospack is indeed using the correct interpreter (Edited the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/init.py file to print sys.executable). I can import these modules
