I am getting similar results trying to install Electric in 64 bit Natty. Thought it was just my machine configuration. Diamondback install correctly.

Your configuration looks valid to me.

Sometimes the ROS Ubuntu package repository gets into an invalid state while being updated. If so, it should work again fairly soon. Be sure to update the package descriptions when retrying:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full

now, i.e., 8 hours later, I still get the same error. Is it possible that in my system some packages are missing?

I installed Ubuntu 2 days ago. so it is really a clean OS.

I think you are right. the repository were "in a invalid state". Just now I tried it again and it works now. Great. Thanks.

not really. the error message are different. mine starts from missing ros_tutorial; his error msg. starts from electric-eigen; and I don't have libpcl-1.1 libeigen3-dev packages installed at all. but thanks anyway.

I guess we just need some more patient and wait until the repository is stable.

The repos are used regularly by many people. In particular Lucid Electric is one of our main development targets and is used regularly by many users.
