Rosdep Import error
Hi,
I am trying to install a ros package on ubuntu 16.04 and ros kinetic version. However, the rosdep init seems to give following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rosdep", line 3, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name OS_MX
This seems some python issue, but I have tried reinstalling: rosdep, ros kinetic, python and even did a reset of bashrc. If I remove the OS_MX, some OS_EMBEDDDED gives import error.
Rospkg version is 1.1.9
What could be the case here?
A guess, but seeing as you're on Ubuntu 14.04: it could be that
rospkgis not up-to-date enough on your system. Causingrosdepto fail when it tries to import symbols that should be part ofrospkgbut aren't on your system.Thanks @gvdhoorn,
The rospkg is also up to date (V 1.19)
Did you mean to write
1.1.9?Just noticed this:
Kinetic is not supported on Ubuntu 14.04; are you building things from source or is this a typo?
I am extreamly sorry, I typed out both the things rather quickly.
The Ubuntu version is 16.04.6 The rospkg is also 1.1.9
I have installed it via package manager.
Have you tried upgrading packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgradebefore installing?Yes indeed. All the packages are up to date
Have you solved the problem? I meet this problem too today.
