[ros-users] Dependency protobuf missing from fuerte desktop-full .rosinstall?

[Traveler Hauptman]

I hit this speedbump last week but forgot to mention it.

[rosbuild] Building package gazebo
  Failed to invoke /opt/ros/fuerte/bin/rospack deps-manifests gazebo
  [rospack] Error: package/stack gazebo depends on non-existent package
protobuf

Adding protobuf as below to .rosinstall fixes it...

- tar: {local-name: protobuf, uri:
'https://code.ros.org/svn/release/download/stacks/protobuf/protobuf-0.1.0/protobuf-0.1.0.tar.bz2',
    version: protobuf-0.1.0}

protobuf wiki says it's needed on some distros but not others but I
don't understand how to tell rospack that my distro has version > 2.3
