Hey all, I seem to be having this problem whenever using rosdep

ERROR: Rosdep experienced an internal error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/barrybear/.ros/rosdep/sources.cache/index' Please go to the rosdep page [1] and file a bug report with the stack trace below. [1] : http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosdep

Traceback (most recent call last):

Whenever I try to apply sudo rosdep, I'll obtain this error:

ERROR: Rosdep cannot find all required resources to answer your query Missing resource scan_tools

Can anyone please help me with a fix? Thanks :)

First you can verify that all urls listed under /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/ are valid. For me the file 20-default.list looks like:

# os-specific listings first
yaml https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml osx
yaml https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/gentoo.yaml gentoo
# generic
yaml https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/base.yaml
yaml https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/python.yaml
yaml https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/ruby.yaml
gbpdistro https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte
gbpdistro https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/releases/groovy.yaml groovy

Second you might have ran "rosdep update" once with sudo and now the file in your home directory are owner my root and not writable by you anymore. You should remove the folder ~/.ros/rosdep and call "rosdep update" again.

Thats superb! I've got the same listings as the first, and i rm -rf the rosdep dir and call the update again as stated, now it works! ;) Thanks!!

I know there's already an answer that worked, but for me, the permission denied error were resolved by running "sudo rosdep fix-permissions" from my /home directory. Not sure if being in the /home directory matters, though.
