ROS2 foxy on Jetson Xavier NX, raises InvalidLaunchFileError exception, while launching mavros.

System Configuration:

Jetson Xavier NX 8GB

Jetpack 5.1.1

ROS2 foxy

mavros 2.4.0

A Pixhawk with px4 firmware(1.13.3) connected to Jetson over USB, when I launch px4.launch:

ros2 launch mavros px4.launch

I get the following exception:

/opt/ros/foxy/bin/ros2:6: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

launch.invalid_launch_file_error.InvalidLaunchFileError: The launch file may have a syntax error, or its format is unknown

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
