Unable to handle 'index' format version '2', please update rosdistro的解决办法

        之前安装的ROS是Fuerte版本的,好久没有更新,不知不觉又出来了好几个新的版本,今天删除了Fuerte,计划安装Hydro版本的尝尝新,按照官网的安装流程,很快就可以把新版本安装上去了,但是在“rosdep update”这一步却总是报错:

           从网上搜索了错误信息,在论坛里有一种解决办法,见:http://answers.ros.org/question/122266/how-can-i-fix-unable-to-handle-index-format-version-2-please-update-rosdistro/

        根据网上找到的办法,rosdistro无法更新,依然解决不了问题,所以考虑可不可以直接通过编译好的包来安装rosdistro,从网上找到0.3.4版本,见https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rosdistro

        下载压缩包,解压,进入目录,输入“  sudo python setup.py install ”, 再重新尝试“rosdep update”,问题解决,不会再报error。
