Catkin plugin: Unable to determine dependencies for Indigo for any release past Trusty
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed without resolution, likely abandoned due to ROS Indigo end-of-life. The Catkin plugin dependency resolution failure on Ubuntu releases newer than Trusty remains unfixed.

No scores available.
Issue body
The Indigo release of ROS only supports saucy and trusty. However, the Catkin plugin utilizes the Trusty ROSO repos, so there's no reason it shouldn't continue to work. However, trying to run Snapcraft on the included ROS example on any release past Trusty fails with:
"Failed doing pull for catkin-tutorials: Package "std_msgs" isn't a valid system dependency. Did you forget to add it to catkin-packages? If not, add the Ubuntu package containing it to stage-packages until you can get it into the rosdep database."
