[ros-users] compressed_image_transport not working

[Brian Gerkey]

hi Patrick,

I just tried the latest binaries on a Karmic box, and the transports
are available.  We had some issues last week with our deb-building
system.  Could you try an update and upgrade, to pull the latest
cturtle debs, and see if the problem persists?

	brian.
