Install problem on Linux Mint 12
Looking for some guidance on a very unhelpful error message. I am trying to perform a full desktop install from source for ROS on a machine running Linux Mint 12 using the instructions at http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/Ubuntu/Source. For this machine, "uname -a" gives: Linux mobile 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.
I have used the sections that are specific to Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric), on which Mint 12 appears to be based, but I run into an error when running rosinstall (rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"). It appears as if this is somewhere in some Python code (which I have no familiarity with) and the actual message is KeyError: '12'. The raw output is as follows (sorry for the formatting, can't quite work out how to handle line breaks and angle brackets in Markdown):
