Expected behaviour

Official documentation for TurtleBot4 does not mention the dependency irobot_create_description installation , causing build failure for turtlebot4_description.

Actual behaviour

When running colcon build --packages-select turtlebot4_description, the build fails with a CMake error indicating that the dependency irobot_create_description cannot be found.

The package is not available via installation section of official documentation , leading to a build failure.

Error messages

--- stderr: turtlebot4_description                         
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:21 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findirobot_create_description.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
  this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided
  by "irobot_create_description", but CMake did not find one.
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "irobot_create_description" with any of the following names:
    irobot_create_descriptionConfig.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "irobot_create_description" to
  CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "irobot_create_description_DIR" to a directory
  containing one of the above files.  If "irobot_create_description" provides
  a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
