## TL;DR

Issue UZ-SLAMLab/ORB_SLAM3#913 (closed, 9 comments): I have installed ros-noetic-desktop-full Paths for ros_root and ros_package are echo $ROS_ROOT /opt/ros/noetic/share/ros echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH /opt/ros/noetic/share:~/ORB_SLAM3/Examples_old/ROS/ORB_SLAM3 after running./build_ros.sh, I get [rosbuild] Building package ORB_SLAM3 Failed to invoke /opt/ros/noetic/bin/rospack deps-manifests ORB_SLAM3 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rosdep2' [rospack] Error: could not find python module 'rosdep2.rospack'. is rosdep up-to-date (at least 0.10.4)?

## Steps

1. Issue UZ-SLAMLab/ORB_SLAM3#913 (closed, 9 comments): I have installed ros-noetic-desktop-full Paths for ros_root and ros_package are echo $ROS_ROOT /opt/ros/noetic/share/ros echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH /opt/ros/noetic/share:~/ORB_SLAM3/Examples_old/ROS/ORB_SLAM3 after running ./build_ros.sh, I get [rosbuild] Building package ORB_SLAM3 Failed to invoke /opt/ros/noetic/bin/rospack deps-manifests ORB_SLAM3 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rosdep2' [rospack] Error: could not find python module 'rosdep2.rospack'. is rosdep up-to-date (at least 0.10.4)? CMake Error at /opt/ros/noetic/share/ros/core/rosbuild/public.

2. The ORB_SLAM3 ROS build failing with 'No module named rosdep2' (and rospack errors) was fixed by the reporter with a clean reinstall: purge ros-noetic from the system and reinstall it using the standard ROS Noetic Ubuntu install instructions. The broken install was the problem, not the ORB_SLAM3 build itself.

## When to use

You are seeing this: CMake Error at /opt/ros/noetic/share/ros/core/rosbuild/public. Use this skill when you run into "Unable to build ORB_SLAM3 with ROS using ./build_ros.sh on ubuntu 20.04 with ros-noetic-desktop-full".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: least 0.10.4. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
