I'm running ROS melodic on Ubuntu 18.04. Kernel version: Linux 5.3.0-59-generic x86_64
This is what I get when I run 'printenv | grep ROS':
ROSETCDIR=/opt/ros/melodic/etc/ros ROSROOT=/opt/ros/melodic/share/ros ROSMASTERURI=http://localhost:11311 ROSVERSION=1 ROSPYTHONVERSION=2 ROSPACKAGEPATH=/home/rahul/Desktop/edxws/src:/opt/ros/melodic/share ROSLISPPACKAGEDIRECTORIES=/home/rahul/Desktop/edxws/devel/share/common-lisp ROS_DISTRO=melodic
I did 'pip install rospkg'. Even after installation I get the same error.
I'm a beginner in ROS. Thank you for your time.

I use sudo sh -c '. /etc/lsb-release && echo "deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ros/ubuntu/lsb_release -csmain" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' mirro. My problem is pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'rospkg>=1.2.7' distribution was not found and is required by rosdep, solved with pip install rospkg==1.2.7 -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple, hope to be useful.

This solution has worked for me:
- Installing last rospkg version
pip3 install rospkg -U - Then changing the version number in
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/rosversion

if you don't have pip installed, you can also use apt install python-rospkg

Hey there, I have the same problem on armhf Debian 10 for ROS2 Foxy.
pip3 install rospkgtells me that the package is already the latest version
apt install python-rospkgtells me it can't find the package with:"E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pillow/python-pil_5.4.1-2+deb10u2_armhf.deb 404 Not Found"
Am I guessing correctly that there are no debian packages for armhf available for python-rospkg?
I cross compiled ros2 myself for this armhf Debian 10..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

can you try
apt install python3-rospkg? The ros2 distributions rely on python3.Asked by ignacio on 2022-05-10 03:20:23 UTC
