ubuntu安装ROS进行到rosdep update时出现错误，如ERROR: unable to process source ...

1、错误描述：

ming@ming:~$ rosdep update

reading in sources list data from /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d

解决办法：

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

将原有的nameserver这一行注释，并添加以下两行：

nameserver 8.8.8.8 #google域名服务器

nameserver 8.8.4.4 #google域名服务器

保存退出，执行

sudo  apt-get update

再执行

rosdep update

出现：

就代表一切OK了！

2、错误描述：
ming@ming:~$ sudo rosdep init 
ERROR: default sources list file already exists:
/etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list
Please delete if you wish to re-initialize

解决办法：

执行以下命令，删除已经存在的初始化文件：

sudo rm /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list

然后再重新运行

sudo rosdep init

问题解决。

如果问题还是没有解决，请参考这位博主的方法安装ROS, 初始化时rosdep update出错解决办法_super_sean的博客-CSDN博客_rosdep update出错https://blog.csdn.net/super_sean/article/details/105433250其中心思想是把20-default.list中需要下载的文件，预先下载下来，然后在20-default.list文件中指明文件路径，从而绕开网络下载这一环。相关文件下载链接也在这位博主（好人）博客中列出来了，大家可以快速下载。

如果最后还是rosdep update不成功，可以选择关机重启试试看，一般都会很快通过！最后祝大家好运。

 如果还是解决不了，可以参考下面这个博客，有点麻烦，但肯定能解决。
