ROS:Indigo:Source Installation can't locate rosdep definition for [create_dashboard]

[songkan tang]

Hi,

I'm new to the ROS. I just updated Ubuntu to 14.04. For I'm following the team developing the turtlebot, so I tried to install ROS indigo and turtlebot modules on my laptop. 

When I followed the newly released tutorial and tried to catkin_make the turtlebot source code, rosdep told me that:

turtlebot_dashboard: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [create_dashboard]

turtlebot_gazebo: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [create_gazebo_plugins]

And the former two (rocon and kobuki) are OK.

Did I miss something? By the way, I have installed gazebo before but I have no idea why it can't find [create_dashboard]. Could you guys help me to figure it out? Thank you very much.

Those two packages are both in https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_create_desktop. This is failing at the moment because the create plugin needs an upgrade so I left that particular repo out of the rosinstall. If you are trying to rosdep install things, make sure you use '-r' with the rosdep install command and that will continue despite not being able to find either create_dashboard or create_gazebo_plugins.

I should probably comment out the package.xml dependencies for now till we get the create stack working...

Daniel.

I have the exact same issue and tried adding the -r flag to these source installation steps, which I assume Songkan Tang was using as well. I replaced the turtlebot rosdep step with

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

I got a series of unmet dependencies

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Then catkin_make failed. Any ideas on what to do? Was the -r flag incorrectly?
