I'm trying to install ROS Groovy on Fedora 19, following the instructions at wiki/groovy/Installation/Fedora. However, running the line

$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro groovy -y

results in the following error:

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: pcl: No definition of [libusb-1.0-dev] for OS version [schrödinger’s]

locate libusb- gives:

/usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4 /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4 /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4 /usr/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0

The problem was how to get the letter 'ö' readable in the yaml file because rosdep resolve is giving this error: ERROR: No definition of [libusb-1.0-dev] for OS version [schrödinger’s]. I solved this by changing the OS name in /etc/system-release to schrodinger and then editing the yaml file.

You need to add rosdep rules for Fedora 19. It's correctly detecting the OS correctly but the latest definition for libusb-1.0 is for spherical. https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/rosdep/base.yaml

How to submit changes is documented here: http://ros.org/doc/independent/api/rosdep/html/contributing_rules.html

You say that this doesn't work for you. What did you do to try it? What errors did you get?

see above. basically, how can I get the 'ö' readable in the yaml file?

For the record, this is fixed in the latest release of rospkg: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rospkg/pull/54

My guess is that Fedora 19 doesn't fall into how rosdep (or more precisely rospkg that's used inside) detects OS.

I would suggest to wait for answers from others but if there's not, then open an enhancement ticket here. I think that this Fedora class might need tweaked.
