[ros-users] rospack depends geometry_msgs vs rosmsg packages Header

[Stephan Opfer]

Hi,

did as you told me:http://answers.ros.org/question/53333/rospack-depends-geometry_msgs-vs-rosmsg-packages-header/

Very interesting, that you dont get that behaviour.  I am using fuerte with ubuntu 12.04

Best Regards,
   Stephan
