There is a note in the code that says the etc/ros can't be used because the environment config doesn't carry over under sudo, but I don't think this is actually relevant, as seen from the rospkg code below:

https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rospkg/blob/124658aa9e7aa5b5db61288624b0aa7858f0db91/src/rospkg/environment.py#L213-L227


connects to #495

That sounds fine, but why do you need to change this? Or put another way, why is this an issue just now and not in the past?


P.S. Please link to code rather than copy-pasting it into the comment.

Never mind, I see the connected issue now, sorry for the noise.

This is just now an issue because I'm installing on a school computer into my scratch directory, for which I do not have root access.

Noted.

See #582 for a regression due to this.
