I was following the tutorials to create a custom message and service. I have a package tutorial_interfaces which has custom message and service and I have a pcakage cpp_pubsub, where I put tutorial_interfaces in the find_package() function os its CMakeLists.txt. When I run colcon build, I get This error

--- stderr: cpp_pubsub

I had this exact error as well yesterday with any msg/srv that I built locally, including the tutorial one. Unfortunately, I am unsure what fixed it. I was building in a Docker image, and after restarting the container, it worked. I suspect a version mismatch of the colcon tools - try to update everything, remove build/ and install/, then rebuild.
