Benoit, 
From the messages, you are using the old version of rosinstall which you look to have added to your path.  You should install the new version of rosinstall http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosinstall  The current version is 0.5.4 

After that I would suggest that you remove your checkout of the old version "latest" from /opt/ros, putting two versions of ROS same code into the same directory will definitely screw things up.  

And then execute:
{{{
rosinstall /opt/ros/cturtle http://ros.org/rosinstalls/cturtle_base.rosinstall
}}}

Note: This is the same command as you had except I added cturtle to the path for clarity.  It's not required but is the standard location for the cturtle distro in /opt/ros.

PS: If you are running on ubuntu I would also recommend that you look at using the debian packages.  You can install them through apt.  See http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Ubuntu

Hi,

 

I currently have   ROS installed from SVN, and the last time that I updated it, it was called the "latest" version. Now that is has been renamed, I can't seem to update ROS.

 

Here's what I get:

 

benoit@ToughbookUbuntu:/opt/ros/stacks$ rosinstall /opt/ros http://ros.org/rosinstalls/cturtle_base.rosinstall
Falling back onto deprecated .rosinstall_source_uri
rosinstall operating on /opt/ros from specifications in rosinstall files  http://ros.org/rosinstalls/latest_base.rosinstall, http://ros.org/rosinstalls/cturtle_base.rosinstall
ahhhhh got an error from the interwebs: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
couldn't load config uri http://ros.org/rosinstalls/latest_base.rosinstall
Usage: rosinstall PATH [URI] [options]

rosinstall: error: None


I tried installing with cturtle_base, latest_base, and unstable_base, but none of them work.

Should I delete my .rosinstall_source_uri file, or maybe try something different?
