Have you checked if this works for the whole workspace? I don't think there are rosdep keys for ogre-next and DART.

it currently fails to resolve DART from the gz-physics package.xml and libogre-next-2.3-dev from the gz-rendering9 package.xml
I suppose we could skip those for now as well. I'll add comments and open issues in gz-physics and gz-rendering about how to name these dependencies in a way that both colcon and rosdep are happy with

I believe we already have a solution, but it requires more steps. https://github.com/osrf/osrf-rosdep

I'm testing on gLinux with the ROS repos but not packages.osrfoundation.org. In this specific case, osrf-rosdep would help with resolving DART to libdart-dev, so I can update the instructions to include it, but it wouldn't help with gz-cmake3 or libogre* in this case
