Hello folks,

I'm getting a "recursion depth exceeded" using rosinstall in Ubuntu 10.10. In particular:

- Install ros-cturtle-base using the ubuntu packages
- Install rosinstall using easy_install
- Try to install ni:

% rosinstall ~/ros /opt/ros/cturtle ni.rosinstall
[a great deal of output; see below]
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

The first couple of lines of output look like this:

Interesting fact: exactly the same process, line for line (except adding the correct ubuntu source line) works in 10.04.

This is a complete showstopper for me, and possibly others. Thoughts?

Thanks!
