Hi.

I cannot use rqt_gui since the last update. The topic drill down is updating without any results:

And when I click on refresh, I have this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/hydro/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rqt_publisher/publisher_widget.py", line 103, in _update_thread_run
    for base_type_str in rosmsg.list_msgs(package, rospack=rospack):
NameError: global name 'rospack' is not defined

I have just re-installed everything this weekend so my settings are clean (I already had this message before the update).

Thx for the support.

PS: rospack is installed.

EDIT1: as requested in the comments.

Can you tell us the version you're using by like running `$ dpkg -p ros-hydro-rqt-publisher`?

This is a bug in version 0.3.1 of rqt_publisher. It will be fixed in the upcoming patch release. 0.3.2.

Any idea when this patch will be delivered?

The release has already been made and is available in shadow-fixed (http://ros.org/debbuild/hydro.html?q=rqt_publisher). Next time the repo will be synced it will be available in public. I can't give a good estimate when that will be since we wait for some other packages to clear - may be today.

Updated this evening and the bug is fixed.
