Snapcraft 2.43.1 catkin plugin crash: rosdep cannot find key for roscpp_tutorials, raising FileNotFoundError during pull. 2834 days old, zero comments, no labels; the catkin plugin no longer exists in modern snapcraft.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 2834 days old with no labels, no comments, and no maintainer interaction, and it targets snapcraft 2.43.1 (2020-era core18). The failing code path (snapcraft/plugins/catkin.py and snapcraft/plugins/_ros/rosdep.py) no longer exists — the current repo layout has no plugins/ directory at all, so the catkin plugin was removed and the reported crash is no longer applicable. The underlying error (rosdep missing the roscpp_tutorials key) also points to the reporter's workspace/environment rather than a snapcraft defect.
