You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-catkin-tools : Depends: python-catkin-pkg (>= 0.2.9) but it is not going to be installed
python-rosdep : Depends: python-catkin-pkg but it is not going to be installed
python-rosdistro-modules : Depends: python-catkin-pkg-modules but it is not going to be installed
ros-indigo-catkin : Depends: python-catkin-pkg (> 0.2.9) but it is not going to be installed
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
Depends: ros-indigo-urdf-tutorial but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I have tried most of the commonly known tricks given in the internet. Anyone who fa ed similar issue with regards to catkin package

Hi, I have solved this issue. Once you have meet the error , you can only reinstall system, then follow the installation tutorial on ros wiki,
http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu. Here is the key operation: doafter
So Luc, what you mean is I have to reinstall the whole ubuntu? I dont really get the "key operation" part that you are talking about, is it that during the ros installation I would have to run a upgrade after the update? Thanks in advance.
It is the most feasible way to reinstall the whole ubuntu. The key operation is to update the ubuntu to the latest. Therefore, you should do
sudo apt-get updateand thensudo apt-get upgrageonce you resintall ubuntu. Sorry, English is not my native language，I hope I've explained clearly.For more details to view this web page. link text
