unmet dependencies
I am trying to re-install ROS, and deleted the old install (which was Electric). I followed the instructions for installing Fuerte, and get a series of "Unmet dependencies" errors saying the packages are broken. I then tried installing electric again, and get the same error with the same list of broken packages (only with electric in the name instead of fuerte). Any idea what could be causing this?
EDIT: more information on the error: Linux version is Ubuntu 10.04
$ sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full

Please include the apt-get line you tried to run and full error output. Also include what version of Ubuntu you are on.
edited to include error output.
Make sure you are fully up to date (sudo apt-get update) and then try installing one of those unmet dependencies (e.g. sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-geometry). If you keep trying to install the unmet dependencies, you should eventually get an error stating WHY they are broken and not installable.
I've tried both of those. Trying a package (I only tried the first ones) gives a message just telling me the package is broken.
Could you post the error that you get when you try and install one of the packages in the list?
