Currently rosdep uses
pacman -Q
to check if a package is installed. However, that does not work with targets provided by a package of a different name.For example: the
eigen
package also provides theeigen3
target. Runningpacman -Q eigen3
will exit non-zero though, because there is no package namedeigen3
installed. Runningpacman -T eigen3
will exit with status 0, because the targeteigen3
is provided by an installed package.This PR changes rosdep to use
pacman -T
.pacman -T
prints the non-installed packages, so it could even be used to implementpacman_detect
with a single pacman invocation. I didn't think that was worth the added complexity over the current implementation though.
