[ros-users] rosinstall problems on Debian

Tue Feb 15 16:53:19 UTC 2011

here is it :
https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/3329
there is a patch in case you need it.

on my computer I have liblog4cxx10-dev in ros_comm/rosdep.yml (with
Diamonback), and it has been corrected here :
https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/changeset/13134

I am surprised you were annoyed by this;
