Thank you. I just missed the need to update /etc/udev/rules.d/73-pr-aliases.rules to run urg_node instead of hokuyo_node

Hi,

the hokuyon_node page on the ROS wiki says :

"Looking for a newer driver? urg_node is fully REP-138 compliant AND compatible with Ethernet/MultiEcho Hokuyos! Hokuyo_node will remain maintained for current users and PR2s. "

It seems that all packages needed to run a PR2 under Ubuntu 16.04/ROS kinetic have been released, except for the hokuyo_node package.

Is urg_node compatible with hokuyo_node from the msgs point of vue or have all the PR2 stacks in kinetic been updated to use urg_node ?

Otherwise we'll need a ros-kinetic-hokuyo-node package please.

Building dependency tree

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

This seems to be caused by the presence of a more recent python-catkin-pkg in the packages.ros.org packages repositroy, that conflicts with the default package from Ubuntu:

for developping low level interfaces for a new robot, are there existing standard messages for battery level (in %) or voltage, or thresholds (low) / flags (charging / dis-charging) ?

How was it solved. packages.willowgarage.com is still down...

I'd like to be able to browse Ubuntu ROS package changelogs using the apt-get changelog command. For this a "changelog server" needs to be setup along the packge repositories. See apt-get(1) for detail.

Is such a server available for ros.org Ubuntu package repositories ?
