Description

Related tutorial-party issue:
ros2/lyrical_tutorial_party#1945

The install command:

sudo apt install '~nros-{DISTRO}-rqt*'

resulted in dependency resolution failures during testing on Ubuntu Resolute AMD64 with ROS 2 Lyrical. This is independent of the RMW.

This change replaces it with:

sudo apt install ros-{DISTRO}-rqt ros-{DISTRO}-rqt-common-plugins

which successfully installs the core rqt packages without pulling optional packages with unresolved dependencies.

Did you use Generative AI?

No.

Additional Information

Tested on:

  • Ubuntu Resolute 26.04
  • AMD64
  • Debian installation
  • rmw_cyclonedds_cpp
