[ROS2][Humble] Issue with colcon build during docs.ros.org tutorial

edit

Good day all,

My setup:

• Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop

• Humble Hawksbill

• Raspberry Pi 4

I have just installed Humble and I am working my way through the tutorials.

I have reached this point: https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Tutori...

After grabbing the ROS2 examples: git clone https://github.com/ros2/examples src/examples -b humble and then running colcon build --symlink-install , the build hangs indefinitely with the following output:

[3.931s] WARNING:colcon.colcon_core.package_selection:Some selected packages are already built in one or more underlay workspaces:

If a package in a merged underlay workspace is overridden and it installs headers, then all packages in the overlay must sort their include directories by workspace order. Failure to do so may result in build failures or undefined behavior at run time.
If the overridden package is used by another package in any underlay, then the overriding package in the overlay must be API and ABI compatible or undefined behavior at run time may occur.

If you understand the risks and want to override a package anyways, add the following to the command line:
    --allow-overriding examples_rclcpp_minimal_action_client examples_rclcpp_minimal_action_server examples_rclcpp_minimal_client examples_rclcpp_minimal_composition examples_rclcpp_minimal_publisher examples_rclcpp_minimal_service examples_rclcpp_minimal_subscriber examples_rclcpp_minimal_timer examples_rclcpp_multithreaded_executor examples_rclpy_executors examples_rclpy_minimal_action_client examples_rclpy_minimal_action_server examples_rclpy_minimal_client examples_rclpy_minimal_publisher examples_rclpy_minimal_service examples_rclpy_minimal_subscriber

This may be promoted to an error in a future release of colcon-override-check.

The timer continues to tick up to about 20 minutes without making progress. I killed the process at this point.

Anyone able to assist please? The error itself is quite clear. But why this should come during working through the tutorials, makes me wonder if the tutorials should be amended. Or, could be there is an issue with my system. Thanks in advance.
