Hi Tully,

Thanks for your answer. I resolved the first error installing the lsb_release package, but I still had some other errors. It turns out that “lsb_release –sc” returns “squeeze”, whereas my Debian distro is squeeze/sid. Moreover, rosdep.yaml is prepared for squeeze/sid, so when it tries to resolve system dependencies it fails. I changed the rosdep.yaml and put squeeze where squeeze/sid was written. There is another error too: libboost-iostreams-dev package is not being installed by rosinstall, because it is not written in rosdep.yaml. I added the package to rosdep.yaml and I could finally compile the Box Turtle release. Anyway, I wonder why lsb_release doesn’t return squeeze/sid as expected by rosdep.yaml. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
