After the installation of Noetic on ubuntu 20.04, I started to redo the tutorials. When I wanted to see the dependencies of beginner_tutorials package, I couldn't use the #rosdep command!

pourya@pourya:~/catkin_ws$ rospack depends beginner_tutorials

Regarding the message in the terminal, I installed the rosdep. Now, it seems a lots of packages are missed such as rospy and ...

I've removed the # from the question title.

This is not twitter.

python3-rosdep2 Command 'rosdep' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install python3-rosdep2

Ah that's awkward. The package you actually want to install is python3-rosdep. The package python3-rosdep2 is a (possibly incompatibly) version that comes from upstream Debian packages. So first remove python3-rosdep2 and install python3-rosdep.

catkin_create_pkg beginner_tutorials rospython roscpp

I think there might be a typo here; it should be rospy instead of rospython. Where did this command come from?

I also destroyed my installation by getting python3-rosdep2. The reason is that this is the package that's suggested by Ubuntu:

$ rosdep update

Command 'rosdep' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install python3-rosdep2

As long as I stick to the correct rosdep package everything is fine, so thanks for the answer.

Thank you. That's right. Maybe it was a suggestion from Ubuntu and doesn't solve the ROS command missing in Noetic eg. rosdep and rospack

I hope the python3-rosdep will be included in the Noetic updates.

Bah, another case of “upstream packages” becoming increasingly a problem.

It's really annoying Ubuntu keeps suggesting the upstream packages.

Opened a ticket to talk about one way to solve this https://github.com/ros-infrastructure...

Agreed, installling rosdep2 broke a lot of stuff on Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic. Needed to do a fresh install of ROS. Really should be fixed to recommend rosdep and not rosdep2

At this point it looks like it's something only Canonical can do, as the suggestions system is largely automated.

As long as the upstream version (ie: rosdep2) gets found by that tool first, it's going to recommend installing it.

Hello,

In the install documentation for noetic, it does not have the rosdep step, like in the ohter installs.

If you install python3-rosdep2, it will uninstall ros-noetic-* packages, thats why it destroys installs.

Maybe they got rid of rosdep all together???

I didn't use rosdep in the installation step; but after installation, I went through the beginner tutorials. Yes, it was really a trouble maker issue.

i too installed python3-rosdep2 and due to that noetic packages were deleted.. is there any step to revert the change or i will have to install ros-noetics again
