I think its the same issue: [Problem of dependencies not found in TF 101 - Unit 2 and Unit 3](https://get-help.robotigniteacademy.com/t/problem-of-dependencies-not-found-in-tf-101-unit-2-and-unit-3/1230/2) Please have a look at the answer and answer if it fixed something or not. If not please download the whole catkin\_ws with the IDE ( right click and download ), and share those files here so we can ha a look on what exactly is going on. ---
