issues about using "sudo rosdep init"

Hi!

I am new to ROS and I just installed ROS indigo on ArchLinux using the tool "yaourt". When I finished installing all packages from AUR, I entered the command

sudo rosdep init

to initialize ROS. But an error came, saying

Error: cannot download default sources list from: hrttps://raw.github.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/source.list.d/20-default.list

I thought it was net connection problem, so I changed many networks. It seemed that none of the networks could reach that site... So I found a downloaded file 20-default.list and was going to copy it to the corresponding directory manually, but I don't know where I should put the file. I found some solutions for Ubuntu and they said the corresponding directory for 20-default.list is /etc/ros/rosdep/source.list.d/, but when I checked my /etc, I didn't even find the /etc/ros !

Now I'm totally confused and hope someone can help me. Thanks a lot.

That directory is likely created by the debian package on most other systems. You may need to manually create it on Arch.

Hi,

I am too facing the same issue. I am following the instructions given at "http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu"

After completion of command "sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full" I was expecting ros folder to be created in /etc/. But /etc/ros is not present on my machine.

Similarly for "sudo rosdep init" below error occurs Error: cannot download default sources list from: hrttps://raw.github.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/source.list.d/20-default.list

Not able to figure out what is the issue.

Appreciate the support. Thanks !!
