How to troubleshoot error during tutorial " could not find python module 'rosdep2.rospack'"
While following the tutorial, I get an error every time I run rospack depends or rospack depends1:
~> rospack depends1 rospy
ImportError: No module named rosdep2.rospack
ImportError: No module named rosdep2.rospack
[rospack] Error: could not find python module 'rosdep2.rospack'. is rosdep up-to-date (at least 0.10.4)?
The problem started after Ubuntu installed some updates, including updates for ros-melodic. I am pasting the log with the list of updates at the bottom of this post.
To try and fix it I have re-installed python-rosdep, run again sudo rosdep init and rosdep update, but no change.
Running Melodic under Ubuntu 18.04, on a x86 PC.
Here the rosdep I have installed
~> sudo apt list --installed | grep rosdep
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
python-rosdep/bionic,bionic,now 0.18.0-1 all [installed]
python-rosdep-modules/bionic,bionic,now 0.18.0-1 all [installed,automatic]
And the environment
~> env | grep ROS
