erratic simulation does not work after ubuntu updates [closed]

edit

I have been successfully using the erratic robot simulation in Gazebo (fuerte on ubuntu 12.04). I installed the erratic robot for simulation using:

sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-fuerte-robot

After some updates were installed (including python-rospkg, ros-fuerte-pr2-controllers, and ros-fuerte-pr2-mechanism) using the ubuntu update manager, I have not been able to launch Gazebo with the erratic robot.

For example, the output of roslaunch erratic_navigation_apps demo_2dnav_slam.launch (from [link text]http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Tutorials/TeleopErraticSimulation)) is:

scott@scott-ub:~$ roslaunch erratic_navigation_apps demo_2dnav_slam.launch
