Package Broken on Noble

[AlexDayCRL]

This package is currently broken in the ROS2 repo as noble removed libpcl-common1.13 in favor of libpcl-common1.14:

I can't seem to find where 1.13 is specified for pcl_conversions, do you see something? This may also be a transient issue, the migration to Rolling on 24.04 is still underway I believe so catching up with PCL updates for the distribution might not be completed yet.

Or, it seems to me that perhaps rosdep just needs the update from 1.13 to 1.14 for the new distribution https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/rosdep/base.yaml#L4813 which should be easy enough to do in a contributed PR :smile:

[AlexDayCRL]

Packaging is something that is still a mystery to me so I'm not sure where it's pulling it from. Interestingly some of the other ros-rolling packages specify libpcl-common1.13 and above rather than 1.13 only.

[SteveMacenski]

Can you point to those / where you found it? I can glance. I expect that its just rosdep that needs to have the 1.14 changed for rolling which may have just not happened yet.

Edit: Actually, it looks like 1.13 is what is supported by ROS in Noble https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.html#jazzy-jalisco-may-2024-may-2029 not 1.14 for Jazzy

[AlexDayCRL]

I can't find any information as to why the ubuntu devs deleted 1.13 and went to 1.14. It seems to still be experimental in the debian upstream. If ROS is requiring PCL to 1.13 I suppose the onus is on them to provide the package rather than the devs to link against new versions.

Would the rosdep repo be the best place to make an issue?

Here's where I'm finding the >= 1.13 dependency:

Cartographer is one such example:

It looks like 1.14 is the right answer and the REP 2000 just needs to be updated. I think that should fix things once the PR linked above gets trickled out. Looks like Chris and Shane saw the same behavior as you and I

[clalancette]

So I believe this should all be settled now with the update to https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/40834 and the re-bloom of perception_pcl that I did this morning. At least, as far as I can tell there are no failing builds anymore.
