Hi! I found a some entries but none seem to help with my problem. I am currently following the instructions to install turtlebot on this site: http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutoria... when running following command under point 2.2:

rosdep install --from-paths src -i -y

I get following stack trace:

nicolas@myworkstation:~/rocon$ rosdep install --from-paths src -i -y

ERROR: Rosdep experienced an error: Invalid package manifest "/opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/package.xml": Error(s) in /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/package.xml:

Please go to the rosdep page [1] and file a bug report with the stack trace below.

There must be a problem with my package.xml file.

It seems that the package version 2 might cause the error but I honestly don't know how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Can you post the package.xml that causes the problem?
