To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: go the path velodyne_pointcloud/point_types.h， there is no file.

Anyone help me ? Thanks .

The file was moved from velodyne_pointcloud to velodyne_pcl on the noetic branch some time ago. I have confirmed that 1.6.1 has the file in velodyne_pcl and nowhere in the code is it referenced in velodyne_pointcloud. Please uninstall ros-noetic-velodyne and all of its dependencies and make sure you don't have a copy of the velodyne repository somewhere in a workspace that may be overriding the installed one in /opt/ros/noetic.

Thanks @JWhitleyWork it resolved our issue also, in noetic the pkg is velodyne_pcd only instead of velodyne_pointcloud which consists the point_types.h file and also there the message type defined is PointXYZIRT, so we may need to change that as well because in some packages PointXYZIR is used.
