So I've got a VM running Ubuntu 12.04.1 x86 on my laptop, and my desktop is running 12.04 amd64.

Installation on the VM went smooth. No way of getting ROS Fuerte to install on the desktop though.

I updated the sources as per the installation tutorial, but when I get to the actual installation there are all sorts of unmet dependencies.

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

Somehow I can't see my own answer. Anyway: solution is to get rid of libboost 1.48. ROS requires 1.46 and it can't be installed onto 1.48.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

Problem solved: I was using libboost 1.48.

ROS requires (hardwired dependencies) libboost 1.46. So as apt-get was unable to resolve the conflict, it said it had unmet dependencies.

Solution: remove all 1.48 libboost packages, install ROS.

Why are groovy and hydro debians for Ubuntu 12.4 not compiled against boost 1.48? Ubuntu 12.4 comes both with boost 1.46 & 1.48, but 1.46 has some problems with c++11
