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!
