Hi i am trying to install erratic_robot and i am getting errors- E: Unable to locate package ros-diamondback-erratic-robot or after i did sudo apt-get update i got this long error- Some packages could not be installed.

Strange, when i tried your method, I get an error, E: Unable to locate package ros_fuerte_erratic_robot. Does anyone knows where I went wrong?

The proper command is: "sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-erratic-robot", notice the dashes (-) instead of underscores(_).

Diamondback is not supported on Ubuntu 12.04 . If you want to install erractic_robot on 12.04 under Fuerte, try for a package like ros-fuerte-erratic-robot. If that deb doesn't exist, you can try installing from source if that package, but the package may or may not be supported on 12.04 & ROS Fuerte.

UPDATE: erratic_robot is available for 12.04 and ROS Fuerte and is available in the package repositories.
