I tried to compile 91b5e92 commit.

camera_info_manager_py package isn't in rosdistro.

There isn't a rosdep key for camera_info_manager_py in Noetic yet.
To avoid this error, clone the camera_info_manager_py in your catkin workspace and compile again:
git clone https://github.com/RobotnikAutomation/camera_info_manager_py.git

[jamendezib]

The package has been updated to work with noetic in the branch "noetic-devel"

[rafa-martin]

So, is it necessary to clone RobotnikAutomation/camera_info_manager_py.git package?

[jamendezib]

Yes

[rafa-martin]

It would be interesting to check if camera_info_manager_py is truly necessary in this package.

If it is needed, we should verify if it's used in another repository or if it can be included in this one. This way, we minimize the number of packages and ensure they are self-contained. It makes it easier to manage and migrate.

[jamendezib]

From what I have seen, the only camera that uses camera_info_manager_py is the axis, so maybe we could do as you say
