Can you please edit your answert to print the output of excuting in your terminal:

cat /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d

From the error message it seems like there is a missing second slash after http:/, but that might just be formatting.

Are you able to view http://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml in your browser and download it in the terminal with wget http://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml?

Also, are you using ubuntu? Which version? How have you installed rosdep (apt or pip?) and is your installation up to date?

Edit:

Have you executed the rosdep update command repeatedly? Does it always fail the same way?

What does rosdep --version output?

python -c 'from urllib2 import urlopen; print(urlopen("http://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/base.yaml", timeout=5).info());'

Edit2:

You can directly check the following, if it is a problem that is not really related to rosdep, but rather either github, your local setup or python:

python -c 'from urllib2 import urlopen; print(urlopen("http://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/base.yaml", timeout=5).info());'

Edit2:Edit3:

So this really comes down to your machine / your python urllib2 not timeing out on that address, which seems not to be a problem with rosdep as such. You could try one thing, and replace the contents of file /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list with and see if that makes a difference for the rosdep update call.

Edit 4:

Ok, I'm out of ideas, it seems to be that some urls you can access, and some URLs you can't. Maybe it is a github problem, maybe it is a problem of your computer. You could try with a different machine or a virtual machine from the same network to narrow it down further. Or try with your machine from a different network. It's probably best to remove the file you just changed /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list and call sudo rosdep init again.

Update: Don't do that, it doesn't seem help and if you forget to undo it, you are left with stale sources.

Edit 5:

The problem seems to persist for multiple people and changing URLs. Some people report success after trying multiple times and/or across multiple days.
