Follow the official wiki (you're on ubuntu 18.04, so follow the tutorial for ROS Melodic, which targets Ubuntu 18.04 among others). There you see python-rosdep, without the trailing "2".

Btw, I totally understand where the confusion about python-rosdep2 came from. The following is what I found: - python-rosdep2 (0.11.8-1) for 18.04 is "default" on the official packages.ubuntu.com, where Ubuntu gets a lot of packages from. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python-rosdep. - Official way in ROS to obtain rosdep package is from packages.ros.org (which is what "source list" points to). There I see python-rosdep package at http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages:

My question to rosdep maintainers, assuming python-rosdep2 is uploaded to packages.ubuntu.com by them but I'm not entirely sure, is why these are done? I guess this may the same discussion discourse.ros.org#10902/, so maybe we should continue on discourse or Github.
