Embarrassed to say that I can't get the newest rosinstall working on my machine, using Debian lenny 5.0.8 and the standard source based install instructions at http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Debian. Python version is 2.5.2.

Executed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget python-setuptools
and:
sudo easy_install -U rosinstall

When I run:
rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=cturtle&variant=base&overlay=no"

Here is the output:

veltrobot:~ $ rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=cturtle&variant=ros_only&overlay=no"

If I download the old http://www.ros.org/rosinstall and do a

./rosinstall ~/ros "http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/cturtle_base.rosinstall"
then it all works out fine as it used to.

I found an old thread with the same error message from an ArchLinux user. They fixed it by changing a python 3 symlink to a 2.7 symlink. That does not apply in my case.

Sorry if this has been covered before, I feel like it's something obvious but I haven't been able to find a solution.

Is Debian lenny's python the problem?
