rodep ssl error

[abdullah.sorathi]

Hello,
I am not able to init rosdep. When I do sudo rosdep init it keeps giving error

ERROR: cannot download default sources list from:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list
Website may be down.

I tried manually downloading 20-default.lit using wget and placing it inside /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/ directory and tried running rosdep update still it says connection timeout whereas these url are perfectly working when open through browser

I tried doing this updating certificates but it didn't work

update-ca-certificates
cp /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /usr/lib/ssl/certs

I am able to get rosdep working by updating ca-certificates through this

update-ca-certificates
cp /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /usr/lib/ssl/certs

and setting SSL_CERT_FILE variable to point to ca-certificate path

export SSL_CERT_FILE=/usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

but now rosdep dos not detect OS used by Voxl

ERROR: Rosdep experienced an error: Could not detect OS, tried ['windows', 'ubuntu', 'slackware', 'rhel', 'qnx', 'osx', 'opensuse', 'opensuse', 'mint', 'linaro', 'gentoo', 'funtoo', 'freebsd', 'fedora', 'elementary', 'debian', 'cygwin', 'centos', 'arch']

Thanks for posting the ssl fix. We're looking into this. We don't typically use rosdep for anything. Is there something specific you need to get working?

A more traditional ROS experience is easy to achieve running Ubuntu in a Docker on VOXL : https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/

I was trying to rosdep update on some custom packages. But then ended up adding source directly to the workspace.
