Hi,

After following the instructions on ROS Wiki,

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full

Gives error

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ros-indigo-desktop-full : Depends: ros-indigo-desktop but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: ros-indigo-perception but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: ros-indigo-simulators but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I also tried

sudo apt-get install libsdformat1

And

sudo apt-get install -f

Nothing worked. What to do?

Make sure you have main enabled in your Ubuntu repositories.

You can try sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic, otherwise you may need to build from source.

you could try apt-get update if you haven't done already. You could also try unholding the packages if they are kept on hold by any chance. apt-mark ( with respective arguments )is a command that will enable you to do so.
