I'm trying to use cv_bridge with ros2 foxy on a raspberry pi 3 on ubuntu 20.04 After installing it with the instructions from the git repo, I'm getting the error below when i import cv_bridge in python

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cv_bridge/init.py", line 6, in <module>
    from cv_bridge.boost.cv_bridge_boost import cvtColorForDisplay, getCvType
SystemError: initialization of cv_bridge_boost raised unreported exception

I also tried it on my desktop (also Ubuntu 20.04) but it works fine.

I checked cv_bridge/src/module.hpp and it already has the changes from this PR https://github.com/ros-perception/vis...

Has anyone seen this issue before?

This happens for me too. Similarly: - works on my focal (20.04) ubuntu, amd64, i.e. "import cv_bridge" garners no side effects - fails with the same error message when done on my arm64 (aarch64) focal raspberry pi 3b - I am using a packaged version, tracking the latest ros-noetic-cv-bridge from http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu focal/main arm64 Packages, right now 1.15.0-1focal.20200930.205653

I got this error and I used sudo apt install python3-opencv to solve my issue.

I had the same issue on Jetson Xavier on ubuntu 20.04 while it was working well on amd PC with same linux version.

Importing cv2 before cv_bridge solved it for me.

import cv2
from cv_bridge import CvBridge, CvBridgeError
