UPDATE: you seem to have an old rosdep version installed somewhere. What does this show?

$ which rosdep

If it says something like /usr/local/bin/rosdep, then you need to uninstall the pip or easy_install version you had previously installed. That's simple with pip:

$ sudo pip uninstall rosdep

If you used easy_install, you'll have to find and remove all the relevant files by hand.

UPDATE #2: The uninstall was to remove the pip version in /usr/local/bin/rosdep. Then, it will use the correct, up-to-date /usr/bin/rosdep automatically installed via apt-get from the python-rosdep package. After uninstalling, "which rosdep" should show that one.

The pip version is deprecated, because it leads to exactly this kind of problem.

$ dpkg -L python-rosdep

$ sudo apt-get remove python-rosdep
$ sudo apt-get install python-rosdep

UPDATE #3: somehow your Debian APT database has gotten screwed up. That is not normal. Does the list of files printed here include /usr/bin/rosdep? Does that file exist?

$ dpkg -L python-rosdep

If not, try uninstalling python-rosdep and then reinstalling it again:

$ sudo apt-get remove python-rosdep
$ sudo apt-get install python-rosdep

UPDATE #4: you are not doing anything wrong, this is just a messy problem. I experienced it, too, when the pip version was replaced by the python-rosdep package.

I think the which command problem was caused by the shell. It keeps a hash table of commands it has found in the search path. When we deleted /usr/local/bin/rosdeps, it got confused.

I have seen this problem with those pyshared files not getting unpacked into /usr/lib/python2.7 properly, but I can't remember exactly how I resolved it.

It might help to reboot.

$ find /usr/local -name rosdep2

$ sudo apt-get remove python-rosdep
$ sudo apt-get install python-rosdep

UPDATE #5: OK, make sure there is no old version anywhere in /usr/local:

$ find /usr/local -name rosdep2

If that finds anything at all, delete it. Then, try reinstalling the scripts again:

$ sudo apt-get remove python-rosdep
$ sudo apt-get install python-rosdep

$ sudo apt-get remove python-rosdep 'ros-fuerte-*'
