I had a similar problem, but just installing Gazebo 2 per the directions.
I'd had Gazebo running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I wanted to upgrade Ubuntu to 14.04. The Ubuntu upgrade failed, due to a package conflict in ROS/Gazebo. (Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1388511). So I had to uninstall ROS/Gazebo to upgrade Ubuntu. The Ubuntu upgrade went fine.
Then I tried to re-install ROS/Gazebo, following the directions at "http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu".
This produced errors: ... (Reading database ... 95% (Reading database ... 100% (Reading database ... 311085 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: error processing package gazebo2 (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
This put the package manager into an endless loop of trying to repair, failing to repair, and asking to try to repair again. I had to reboot and do "apt-get remove gazebo2" to get the package system into a valid state again.
Now what?
