Hey @demoscy,

this package was developed when ROS Groovy was the latest version. The issue you are having is likely due to you using the latest version of ROS (default in Ubuntu's repositories) but this package not being updated to & registered in recent ROS versions.

While updating the package should not be difficult, I cannot do so, as I'm working in a different place by now and have no access to a SICK S300 laserscanner anymore. I see only few options really:

  1. use an older version of ROS (and Ubuntu),
  2. try to update this package to a more recent ROS version, or
  3. give the cob_sick_s300 package a try -- it seems to be supported by ROS Kinetic (EOL 2021).

I'll label the issue with "help needed". Maybe someone with access to said laserscanner will eventually notice and decide to update/maintain the package.
