Hi!
I have a package with the following dependency:
<depend>libyaml-cpp-dev</depend>
When I try to run the rosdep install mypackage command, I would expect that apt installs the libyaml-cpp-dev package. However, I get the following error instead:
Cannot locate rosdep definition for [libyaml-cpp-dev]
Any idea why rosdep fails in this case? Thx!
You're using the debian package name not the rosdep key for this package.
If you look it up in the rules you'll see that that debian package corresponds to yaml-cpp
https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob...
You should use that key and rosdep will resolve it to libyaml-cpp-dev on Ubuntu as well different package names like libyaml-cpp-devel for Fedora. We current best practice is to use the debian package name however it's not guaranteed. And we don't change existing keys to avoid breaking existing users.
