rosbash is installed but the following gives :

$ roscd
roscd: command not found

This initial command from the rosbash wiki page returns:

$ source ${ROS_ROOT}/tools/rosbash/rosbash
bash: /opt/ros/groovy/share/ros/tools/rosbash/rosbash: No such file or directory

The version of the package is :

$ dpkg -s ros-groovy-rosbash
Package: ros-groovy-rosbash

The comment on the rosbash wiki page was outdated. I have updated the wiki page.

The correct way is to source /opt/ros/DISTRONAME/setup.bash instead of the rosbash file. This will not only give you bash-specific completions but also the correct environment variable like ROS_ROOT, ROS_PACKAGE_PATH etc.

It doesn't work for me.

I looks like you didn't source ROS's setup.bash. Follow this tutorial to set it up : http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Ubuntu#groovy.2BAC8-Installation.2BAC8-DebEnvironment.Environment_setup

This should solve your problem

(By the way it looks like /opt/ros/groovy/share/ros/tools/ folder doesn't exist, which may explain the error you got.)

No it appears to be a shipped bug... a dirty fix is to add :

source /opt/ros/groovy/share/rosbash/rosbash

after the usual source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash

This is not a bug and source /opt/ros/groovy/share/rosbash is not the right solution.
