Hi everyone!
Today I installed a Gazebo update package trough the Ubuntu update manager (see extract from the term.log below) and after that my sdf model isn't working anymore.
term.log extract

When I start Gazebo it says that standard files like empty.world are deprecated.

Since sdf 1.4 isn't live, I don't know why it wants my model in sdf 1.4 format. I then tried the gzsdf convert (with success) but the only thing that got changed were the version number and that ' were replaced by ".
But that didn't change the problem and I also manually added "link_name" to the joint parent and child tags. Starting the changed sdf file I got this error message. Because the new tags I used aren't from sdf 1.3 these error messages seem to be right. But that doesn't change my problem.
