Hi Chad,

Thanks for the heads up.  We did identify an issue in the SSE acceleration as mentioned in many of those questions.  We rereleased opencv with fewer patches.  The new binary got into our build pipeline but not into the public facing repo.  I just resynced the repos and I think it should be ok now. 

I don't know what's up with the debbuild status page.  I'll look into that on Monday.  In the mean time, if you're curious you can generate a local copy of the debbuild report with the following command assuming you checkout the ros_release stack. 

rosrun rosdeb list_missing.py electric --allhtml -o electric.html

If there's still a problem with installations please let us know,
Tully

Hi everyone, it looks like something has broken the live debian releases.

Upon accepting updates (confirmed on Lucid 32 bit), ros-electric-vision-opencv is removed (and all packages that depend on this).  If attempting to re-install, you receive the error:

"sudo apt-get install ros-electric-vision-opencv
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  ros-electric-vision-opencv: Depends: libopencv2.3-dev (= 2.3.1+svn6514+branch23-8~lucid) but 2.3.1+svn6514+branch23-6~lucid is to be installed
E: Broken packages"

There appear to be several ROS answers related to this and a failed OpenCV release related to SSE optimization:
http://answers.ros.org/question/2787/illegal-instruction
http://answers.ros.org/question/2839/illegal-instruction-when-using-image_view-with
http://answers.ros.org/question/2882/about-compiling-opencv-programs-outside-ros

And another related to broken installations and the specific OpenCV release:
http://answers.ros.org/question/2881/unmet-dependencies-in-ros-electric-desktop-full

To make matters worse, the debbuild status page is currently 503 unavailable, so I'm not sure if someone is fixing things or if that's an unrelated problem, but I don't see anything on Hudson that looks like it's building a fix.

Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of this situation.

Thanks,
