OSX, brew install failed to detect successful installation of [qt5]

[hnipps]

Running this command:

MacBook:ros_catkin_ws user$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y`
executing command [brew install qt5]
Warning: qt5-5.7.0 already installed
ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install
   homebrew: Failed to detect successful installation of [qt5]

I also get this stacktrace, but I understand it might be caused by another, unrelated issue:

rosdep version: 0.11.5

Traceback (most recent call last):

I installed pyqt5 separately via this command:
brew install pyqt5 --with-python

And Homebrew tells me pyqt5 is installed:

brew info pyqt5

Any idea what's going on?

How do you "also get this stacktrace"? it looks to be a duplicate of #486.

Also can you give the brew info for qt5 which is the one failing.

[hnipps]

I ran this command to get the stacktrace:
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y --verbose

I managed to get past this by installing qt5 separately with homebrew, and then skipping the qt5 keys like this:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y --as-root pip:no --skip-keys="python-qt-bindings-qwt5 libqt5-core libqt5-gui libqt5-opengl libqt5-opengl-dev libqt5-widgets qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev python-imaging"

Eventually I was able to install all dependencies.

Here's the brew info for qt5:

brew info qt5

==> Caveats
We agreed to the Qt opensource license for you.
If this is unacceptable you should uninstall.

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

Qt 5 conflicts Qt 4

Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:

    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/qt5/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/qt5/include
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH: /usr/local/opt/qt5/lib/pkgconfig


.app bundles were installed.
Run `brew linkapps qt5` to symlink these to /Applications.

I have the same problem, however, using the following command does not work for me:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y --as-root pip:no --skip-keys="python-qt-bindings-qwt5 libqt5-core libqt5-gui libqt5-opengl libqt5-opengl-dev libqt5-widgets qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev python-imaging"

Any clue on how I could work around it? I am trying to install indigo and I have the same info output for brew info qt.

[wjwwood]

@des0ps I wouldn't use the quotes:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y --as-root pip:no --skip-keys python-qt-bindings-qwt5 --skip-keys libqt5-core --skip-keys libqt5-gui --skip-keys libqt5-opengl --skip-keys libqt5-opengl-dev --skip-keys libqt5-widgets --skip-keys qt5-qmake --skip-keys qtbase5-dev --skip-keys python-imaging

The option doesn't take arguments as I'd imagine it should, but the above ought to work.

[NikolausDemmel]

Hmm... not sure what the issue is, but in any case --skip-keys should accept space-separated values (

rosdep/src/rosdep2/main.py

Line 328 in 4006765

options.skip_keys = [key for s in options.skip_keys for key in s.split(' ')]

)

Maybe there is another rosdep key for you that resolves to brew package qt5, so you might need to add that to the list of skipped keys.

Not sure why the installation of qt5 is not detected, maybe something changed with the options that qt5 installs with by default and what rosdep expects.

[folkwang]

I've also bumped into this error of homebrew: Failed to detect successful installation of [qt]
but --skip-keys python-qt-bindings-qwt5 --skip-keys libqt5-core --skip-keys libqt5-gui --skip-keys libqt5-opengl --skip-keys libqt5-opengl-dev --skip-keys libqt5-widgets --skip-keys qt5-qmake --skip-keys qtbase5-dev --skip-keys python-imaging seem no longer to work.
How do you find out the value to plug into --skip-keys to get over it?

[dymczykm]

--skip-keys did not seem to work for me either, but this is what I did:

• qt5 installation status is not detected because it's a keg only formula
• you can force it get linked to go through the rosdep command by:
  • unlinking the qt4-no-webkit: brew unlink qt4-no-webkit
  • force linking qt5: brew link qt5 --force
• going through the script including the rosdep command
• undoing the changes: unlink qt5, link qt4-no-webkit
• running the catkin build command manually

Maybe this helps.

[NataliaDiaz]

@dymczykm brew unlink qt4-no-webkit produces for me:
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/qt4-no-webkit
and in /usr/local/Cellar/qt I have:
4.8.7_2 5.6.1-1 5.8.0_2 folders.

[zhonghh]

Got this error message:

and on macOS sierra 10.12.5, same command with the following error:

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies:

    webkit_dependency: No definition of [python-qt5-bindings-webkit] for OS [osx]

[fferri]

Same error here on macOS sierra 10.12.5, and adding --skip-keys=python-qt5-bindings-webkit to the command line results in this new error:

executing command [brew install qt5]
Warning: qt 5.9.0 is already installed
ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install
  homebrew: Failed to detect successful installation of [qt5]

[claudiomenghi]

The following command worked for me

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y --skip-keys "libqt5-core libqt5-gui libqt5-opengl libqt5-opengl-dev libqt5-widgets qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev python-qt5-bindings-webkit"

Do you know any drawback on this command? I believe that it just does not install some qt5 package which is already installed. Am I correct?
