Maybe you should run ROS indigo with gazebo2.

They say ROS indigo works best with gazebo2, which is difficult to install because of dependency. It requires libsdformat-dev (and therefore libsdformat1) that has version >=1.4.11-1 but <2.0.0 which is almost unable to satisfy. However I found those versions of those dependencies that perfectly matches and allow you to install gazebo2.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/libsdformat-dev/1.4.11-1ubuntu0.1

However remember to remove the existing updated versions of those libraries before installing packages above:

sudo apt-get remove libsdformat-dev
sudo apt-get remove libsdformat1

Otherwise Ubuntu Software Center would tell you about dependency problems and won't allow you to install.

After installing the 2 libs above you can now install gazebo2 which is supposed to work best with ROS indigo.
