Cannot compile diagnostic_updater on ARM device: "apt: command [sudo apt-get install python-rospkg] failed"
I'm trying to compile diagnostic_updater on a ARM device (running Linaro 12.08) using groovy. The command I'm using to compile is
rosdep install diagnostic_updater
The error I'm encountering is
ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install
apt: command [sudo apt-get install python-rospkg] failed
The reason the command is failing is because python-rospkg doesn't exist as a debian package for ROS. I had acquired rospkg through pip.
Is there are work around I can use to build the package?
