rosdep init return pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound
Hi all,
I just install ROS the first time today (melodic on Ubuntu 18.04). I installed rosdep without any problem using the following command:
sudo apt install python-rosdep
Not sure what went wrong during the process but as soon as I run sudo rosdep init, I received the following errror:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rosdep", line 6, in
from pkgresources import loadentry_point File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkgresources/init.py", line 3088, in

What I'm confused about is how come rosdep is installed using python2 version, my traceback is showing the rosdep command is using version 3.
Any ideas?

Please edit your question to clarify what you did to "install ROS" The first thing that jumps out to me from your backtrace is that you appear to be using python3 however python2 is the default for melodic. What are your apt sources? To best help you we need enough information to reproduce your problem.
