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.

Dear ROS devs,

I am setting up ros on a new machine running Lucid but I am experiencing problem with rosmake terminating with a bad exit status evrytime. I have tried both base install and pr2 install just to check and the same thing happens, I have attached a log of what exactly happens, but basically, the last few lines look like this

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/makokal/rosinstall", line 326, in <module>
    sys.exit(rosinstall_main(sys.argv) or 0)
  File "/home/makokal/rosinstall", line 319, in rosinstall_main
    subprocess.check_call("source %s && rosmake rostest --rosdep-install" % (os.path.join(options.path, 'setup.sh')), shell=True, executable='/bin/bash')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 498, in check_call
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'source /home/makokal/ros/setup.sh && rosmake rostest --rosdep-install' returned non-zero exit status 1


Thanks

billy
