I have attempted the installation and always receive the error:
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 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.
When I try to install the unmet dependencies, I am met with even more unmet dependencies.
How do I proceed?

What platform are you on? What repository are you using? What directions are you following?

I think there's some problem relating to i386 packages, since ros-indigo-simulators aparently asks for gazebo2:i386. I manage to reduce the unmet dependencies to ros-indigo-simulators allowing "main" repositories, then I managed to install the desktop version.
