Hello Everybody,
I am relatively new to ROS and Gazebo, so you will most likely be seeing my questions here a lot. Anyway, I was trying to set up ROS and Gazebo on a new computer, a LATITUDE | D830 from Used Computer Warehouse. I installed 14.04 Ubuntu in place of Windows, and proceeded to install ROS Indigo and Gazebo. While following the instructions at http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ros_installing, I got this long error message upon the input of the command sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-control:
skyguyjedi@skyguyjedi-Latitude-D830:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-control
[sudo] password for skyguyjedi:

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-control : Depends: gazebo2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsdformat1 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ros-indigo-gazebo-ros but it is not going to be installed
ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-pkgs : Depends: ros-indigo-gazebo-plugins but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ros-indigo-gazebo-ros but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
As far as I can tell, I'm missing some dependencies that these files need to be installed, but I cannot figure out what these dependencies are, or where to find them. Any assistance, of course, extremely appreciated. I know that this is a rookie problem, but my limited googling skills were unable to turn up another error of this type.
Thanks,
