As noted in the original ticket 
(https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/3217), the first ones I noticed 
were the packages urdf, tf, navfn, costmap2d, and visualization_msgs. I 
see if I can trace down some more and will then file inidividual tickets 
if I get to it.

Strange, I did get that warning, but IIRC only on tf although I had 
dependencies on more packages (see above). Is there a certain trigger 
that causes roswtf to look for these problems in all packages (or only 
now, with the --offline option)?

The enhancement I had in the original ticket (#3217) was also to not 
only check for these fixed deprecated paths, but in general to check 
whether there are non-existing paths in the cflags export. These checks 
could then be easily used in automated builds to check for typos or 
deprecated exports in released stacks.

Best regards,
Armin
