Could you please post the entry for rosconsole_bridge from your .rosinstall file? You did you retrieve that?

[t1jump]

I removed rosconsole_bridge from the src file and started the install without it (./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install). It will take several hours for this to complete before I can run install with rosconsole_bridge again to throw the error that came up during install.

Your pathspec looks like a tag in the release repo (https://github.com/ros-gbp/rosconsole_bridge-release) , but the url points to the upstream repo in that incarnation this will never work

How did you generate your rosinstall file? DId you modify anything?

[t1jump]

Below is the process I used. This worked fine on a build Saturday and failed on a new build today.

Fetch the Core Packages for the Desired ROS Variant into the Catkin Workspace: (3 mins) $ mkdir ~/ros_catkin_ws $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws $ wstool init src -j8 http://packages.ros.org/web/rosinstall/generate/raw/groovy/robot

Update $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws/src $ wstool update

Install ROS Catkin Dependencies: $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws $ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro groovy -y

Build ROS Catkin Packages: $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws (just a note to remind to be in this directory) $ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install

[t1jump]

After the error when trying to install using $ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install I moved into the src directory and tried wstool set

$ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws/src $ wstool set rosconsole_bridge https://github.com/ros/rosconsole_bridge.git --git -y $ wstool update rosconsole_bridge

and with this I get the error in the initial post above.

When fetching the above mentioned URL of the rosinstall generator the entry for rosconsole_bridge looks like:

- tar: {local-name: rosconsole_bridge, uri: 'https://github.com/ros-gbp/rosconsole_bridge-release/archive/release/groovy/rosconsole_bridge/0.2.7-0.tar.gz', version: rosconsole_bridge-release-release-groovy-rosconsole_bridge-0.2.7-0}

Before the latest release you will have received a similar entry for version 0.2.6. Your error message indicated that the URL of the repository is different - pointing to the non-gbp repository. Have you manually altered the rosinstall file? If yes, that entry is now just wrong.

You should fetch a current rosinstall file from the url and use that one to update your workspace. Note: wstool update will not fetch new versions of a package.

Since this is clearly not a rosconsole_bridge issue I will mark the issue as closed. Please feel free to continue commenting on the ticket.

I made no changes to the rosinstall file. I'm not sure where the rosinstall file comes in but the steps I followed previous to fetching the core packages are shown below. Did the rosinstall file get changed at the source (how would this get checked)?

Install Pre-reqs for and Download ROS Catkin Packages

Sources List: $ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu quantal main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Keys: $ wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Update: $ sudo apt-get update

Bootstrap dependencies (Ubuntu): $ sudo apt-get install python-rosdep python-wstool build-essential

Initialize rosdep: (1 min) $ sudo rosdep init $ rosdep update

When you call wstool set to set the url but not the branch you are checking out. (That changes the rosinstall file) You need to use the --version-new option when calling wstool set.

Should I be concerned that other packages I called without using the --version-new option could have issues?

[tfoote]

Yes
