Errors installing rosdep
I am following the rosdep installation/setup instructions as given on the ROS website for OSX/Homebrew, and having run step 2.1.2 (Resolving Dependencies) I get the following errors, in a process that otherwise appears to succeed:

Instructions at <http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source (www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source)>, FYI. It seems I can actually post links in comments.
And here are the errors: https://gist.github.com/alexreg/4965426
@kalectro: What does "made it into the generator" mean? Anyway the error still occurs. I'd like to figure out what's going on, although I will take your
rmsuggestion for now, thanks.Step 2.1.1 will download all sources produced by a generator. If you want to know which source are being produced, open the link in a browser http://packages.ros.org/web/rosinstall/generate/raw/groovy/desktop Did the rm suggestion work or not?
I'm still not sure what a "generator" (maybe it's like a distribution type) is but alright, cheers! Trying to install with your rm suggestion now. The next step is constantly failing each time I retry, because it reports a certain package is missing usually.
@kalectro: Do you think we could debug this issue anyway? I'm quite curious why it's not working.
@kalectro: So I've actually noticed other errors in the log now, shortly before the ones I posted previously. I've updated the Gist so you can see -- basically the problem is that bad assumptions are being made about the directory structure of the tarballs for some of the tf2 stuff.
