Installing this package in Noetic gets the Melodic release

[karl-exwzd]

When installing the package ros-noetic-panda-moveit-config the Melodic release is installed, which is not compatible with the Noetic version of franka_description which is one of its dependencies.

The error is following:

Param xml is <param if="$(eval arg('load_robot_description') and arg('load_gripper'))" name="$(arg robot_description)" command="$(find xacro)/xacro '$(find franka_description)/robots/panda_arm_hand.urdf.xacro'"/>

That's because in the Noetic branch the robot description with and without the gripper has been merged compared to Melodic.

How come one gets the Melodic release in ROS Noetic?

The noetic-devel branch is work in progress. It was not yet released. See #96 for some details.

@rhaschke Thank you for the information.

I was very confused when installing a package on which the dependency was broken in this particular way. I'll wait then.

I guess this ticket can be closed for now?
