I just wanted to update - upgrade the robot (with the usual sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade) within the robot. Nonetheless it cannot be done since the robot cannot connect to "http://packages.willowgarage.com" it seems the server has been down since some time already (I tried last week too). Anyone has any workaround this?

In my source files there is no packages.willowgarage.com. So I don't know who is calling this server. I copy the files next.

In my source.list file:

# deb http://aptproxy.willowgarage.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted

# deb http://aptproxy.willowgarage.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates main restricted
# deb http:///ubuntu precise-security main restricted

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://aptproxy.willowgarage.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted
deb-src http://aptproxy.willowgarage.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted

The sources files for PR2 repository are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

When the ROS packages site moved to OSUOSL last year, Willow lost the ability to update the PR2 repositories hosted there, so the PR2 packages were moved to packages.willowgarage.com , and a redirect was set up to redirect clients from packages.ros.org/pr2 to packages.willowgarage.com/pr2 .

I'm not quite sure what has happened since then, but it looks like redirect is still in place, redirecting you from packages.ros.org/pr2 to packages.willowgarage.com/pr2, and packages.willowgarage.com is offline, which is causing the error you're seeing.

You should contact the PR2 support team directly about this.

I fixed this problem by commenting out all lines in files: pr2debs.list and pr2debspr2.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

it was a problem of willow garage dependencies, but it's solved already

packages.willowgarage.com is back to life!

You may notice it redirects to an amazon S3 instance, but all existing links should work correctly.

Sorry for the outage.
