Many Unmet Dependencies on Indigo Trying to Install Tutorial Packages

I'm trying to install the ros indigo tutorial packages and am getting a large number of errors. When I use the command form to show debug info, I get the second code block below. I'm not sure how to correct this and am wondering when it makes sense to try to debug all of these issues vs. reinstalling desktop full from scratch. Or, is there a quicker solution?

 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-tutorials ros-indigo-geometry-tutorials ros-indigo-rviz ros-indigo-rosbash ros-indigo-rqt-tf-tree

The debug output also shows it, but it would be nice if you could add some info to your question, such as which OS this is, which version, which processor architecture, how you installed ROS, and what version of ROS you are trying to use.

That makes perfect sense to specify the platform given the challenges of ARM vs x86. My platform is a Raspberry PI (B version, not the new RPI 2) and I installed ROS Indigo by building an image from link text .

which of the two images are you using - the first one has a static ip address set in customisations - this could cause issues on a lan. Trying running apt-get update and see if that succeeds
