rosdep update报错ERROR: error loading sources list: (‘The read operation timed out‘,)解决

在安装ros过程中，rosdep update几乎每次遇到报错：

ERROR: error loading sources list: (‘The read operation timed out’,)

报错如下图所示:

解决方法：

1.手动下载rosdep包

git clone https://gitee.com/francois_WAN/rosdistro.git  

2.进入目录/etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d下

cd /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d

赋予编辑权限：

sudo chmod 777 * -R

将下载的rosdistro文件移动到ros文件夹下：

3.对20-default.list文件进行更改：

源文件内容：

#os-specific listings first
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/# rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml osx
#generic
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/base.yaml
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/python.yaml
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/ruby.yaml
gbpdistro https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte
#newer distributions (Groovy, Hydro, …) must not be listed anymore, they are being fetched from the rosdistro index.yaml instead

替换为：

#os-specific listings first
yaml file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml osx
#generic
yaml file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/rosdep/base.yaml
yaml file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/rosdep/python.yaml
yaml file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/rosdep/ruby.yaml
gbpdistro file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte
#newer distributions (Groovy, Hydro, …) must not be listed anymore, they are being fetched from the rosdistro index.yaml instead

4.进入到 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/文件夹下

cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/

1. 对文件gbpdistro_support.py进行修改：

sudo gedit gbpdistro_support.py

#location of an example gbpdistro file for reference and testing
FUERTE_GBPDISTRO_URL = ‘file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/releases/fuerte.yaml’

2. 对同一文件夹下的 rep3.py文件进行修改：

sudo gedit rep3.py

#location of targets file for processing gbpdistro files
REP3_TARGETS_URL = ‘file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/releases/targets.yaml’

3. 对 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdistro/文件夹下的 gedit __init__.py文件进行修改：

cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdistro/
sudo gedit __init__.py

#index information
DEFAULT_INDEX_URL = ‘file:///etc/ros/rosdistro/index-v4.yaml’

5.再次执行 rosdep update：

6.运行成功！
