Billy,
rosdep is having trouble detecting your OS.  It's falsely detecting Mint
instead of lucid.  What are your outputs for "lsb_release -sc" and
"lsb_release -sr"?  Below is a quick patch for Mint 9 support.  Which is the
error you are getting, but shouldn't be getting because you're not running
Mint.
