Hi, is there any update on this issue, or an expected timeline for a fix?

[ob-yalian]

The latest packages have already been built and are currently available in the ROS 2 testing repository. You can switch to the testing repository with:

sudo apt install -y ros2-testing-apt-source

After switching, you should be able to see and install the latest Orbbec ROS packages.

The ROS build farm will later sync the packages from the testing repository to the main repository, which typically takes about 2 weeks.
