ros-kinetic-catkin-virtualenv dependency issue about catkin_virtualenv

[paulbovbel]

Thanks for the report. Generally the version in apt doesn't matter, since 0.4.20 is what pip pulls into the virtualenv from https://pypi.org/project/catkin-pkg/

https://github.com/locusrobotics/catkin_virtualenv/blob/master/catkin_virtualenv/requirements.txt pins some specific versions of those dependencies, whatever was available at the time, and they can certainly be advanced if necessary.

Sometimes certain pypi packages won't be installable on certain distros, which luckily I've managed to avoid for now... but we use this package extensively in xenial, and 0.4.20 seems to be installable

@gavanderhoorn have you noticed any issues?

No, I've not seen this (yet).

When trying to recreate the error on docker it seemed to be working just fine, so the odds are that it was just something wrong with my pc's env/ installation? (I was struggling with pip versions and python2vs3 compability, which may have caused it)

Anyways I'm closing this for now as I am not being able to reach the error. Thanks for your help, and will get back if I can find some more details on it!
