CI failing to detect 'ros-humble-actuator-msgs'

[quarkytale]

All PRs on this repo are stuck on this error, even seeing the same while building the docker image on mbari_wec.

  apt: command [apt-get install -y ros-humble-actuator-msgs] failed
  apt: Failed to detect successful installation of [ros-humble-actuator-msgs]

From slack:

fresh install for @hamilton8415 failed on actuator_msgs in ros_gz_bridge

Starting >>> ros_gz_bridge

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:62 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findactuator_msgs.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this

actuator_msgs was recently added to ros_gz_bridge... looking at the git log:

    Signed-off-by: Benjamin Perseghetti <bperseghetti@rudislabs.com>

reverting back to 7c62a1ce3cfb4eb3b54e1cfd092c9b63a9d5f255 should fix the problem

same author on the acutator_msgs repo: https://github.com/rudislabs/actuator_msgs/tree/0.0.1 guessing he didn't get a debian in the bloom farm

here's his PR: https://github.com/gazebosim/ros_gz/pull/378

I guess it needs a port to humble? (edited)

Seems like its already added, https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/36795

[andermi]

well, somehow it didn't make it into apt after that

[andermi]

at the very least, we aren't using anything related to the actuator_msgs stuff so I'm fine reverting and freezing ros_gz for now. We can just tie that commit to our release

[andermi]

something like this: https://github.com/osrf/mbari_wec/pull/51

[quarkytale]

Adding ros-testing sources list fixes our build, this is a temporary fix till a Humble sync is out (by this week).

[andermi]

Please see my comment in #143

[quarkytale]

Tested this after Humble sync, apt install worked and could build the latest ros2 branch of ros_gz too!
