foxy rosdep error on pop-os
I am currently working on Pop-OS utilizing ros2 foxy. I am using the latest version of Pop-OS which is based off of ubuntu 20.04. I was working through the "Creating a workspace" portion of the tutorial without issue when I reached and error when I ran the following command in the dev_ws directory.
rosdep install -i --from-path src --rosdistro foxy -y
Which produced the error:
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: turtlesim: Unsupported OS [pop]
The closest I found to this issue is posted here. Where the user is running arch and the solution recommended is to run the following command:
rosdep install --from-paths ./robot_ws/src --ignore-src -r -y --os="arch:"
Which I changed to:
rosdep install --from-paths ./dev_ws/src --ignore-src -r -y --os="pop:"
and provided me the error
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: turtlesim: Unsupported OS [pop] Continuing to install resolvable dependencies...
All required rosdeps installed successfully
I greatly appreciate any information someone can provide me with and any time taken to assist me. please let me know if more information is needed.
Try --os="ubuntu:focal"?
So after using the change you recommended I got that all rosdeps installed successfully. But I still get the same error when I run:
Use the same option --os="ubuntu:focal" if you see the error. I didn't install ros2 on pop, so I don't know whether you will encounter other problems.
