On Ubuntu Precise, I get the following error when trying to run wstool up to create a new workspace:

$ wstool up
ERROR: Cannot find required rosinstall library version, check your installation (also of vcstools) is up-to-date. One frequent cause is that rosinstall 0.5 is still installed in /usr/local/lib.
cannot import name urlopen_netrc

I've checked, and I have the latest versions of the wstool, vcstools and rosinstall libraries:

$ dpkg -l python-wstool python-vcstool python-bloom python-rosinstall

If I try to import the rosinstall module in ipython, I get the following stacktrace:

In [1]: import rosinstall

ImportError: cannot import name urlopen_netrc

I'm pretty sure that I only have rosinstall installed from debs, and the paths listed in the stack trace agree. Any thoughts?

That looks like a problem with vcstools, did you check to make sure it is up-to-date and that it is not installed from pip?

Blech. I have a old version of vcstools installed in my home directory. Removing it fixed this.
