If you don't fix the permissions as Ugo suggests, rospack will still
work correctly, but it will be slower than it could be, because it
can't cache package locations. Depending on the size and nature of
your ROS installation, it can be important to enable caching, because
rospack is used to look up package locations very frequently,
including at run time.
