    I had the same problem. It depends on rosgraph: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/pull/2297/commits/fcd2d10140d995e3d577cad059249b8d1421b468. I wrote a patch for the arch package and now it works. Take a look at the following gist https://gist.github.com/muellerbernd/554c311157deb39bf5ce45e1403a6eb4

    Using parameters this way is problematic. See the discussion here: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/issues/723
