Revision history [back]

It seems you ran some command using sudo, which you should not have, and now you have read-protected files in '/home/edmond/.ros/rosdep/sources.cache/index'.

Remove all files in /home/edmond/.ros, using sudo if necessary. Then, don't use sudo commands anymore for any ros command. If you believe that a ros command only works with calling sudo, you are doing something wrong.
