Hey guys, i was trying to install gazebo in my ubuntu 12.0, following the steps in "gazebosim.org/wiki/1.2/install" . However, after i input

sudo apt-get install gazebo

in terminal as step 4 suggested, it shows up the following errors:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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 information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gazebo : Depends: libboost-thread1.46.1 but it is not installable
          Depends: libboost-signals1.46.1 but it is not installable
          Depends: libboost-system1.46.1 but it is not installable
          Depends: libboost-filesystem1.46.1 but it is not installable
          Depends: libboost-program-options1.46.1 but it is not installable

          Depends: libboost-iostreams1.46.1 but it is not installable
          Depends: libcegui-mk2-0.7.5 but it is not installable
          Depends: sdformat (>= 1.4.7~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've tried

sudo apt-get install -f

to fix it, but its still not working. Please, any suggestions or commnets will be appreciated XD

Could you please update the answer with the output of these commands: "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" ,"apt-get install sdformat" and "apt-get install libboost-iostreams1.46-dev". Thanks.

I'm on Precise not Quantal but I see a similar error.

$ sudo apt-get install gazebo
:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gazebo : Depends: sdformat (>= 1.4.7~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt-get install sdformat let me run sudo apt-get install gazebo without an error. Credit goes to @Jose Luis Rivero.

I had the same problem! You can solve this makng:

sudo apt-get install <name_of_the_dependency>

Do it for all of them from the last to the first .

Ex.:

sudo apt-get install sdformat
.
.
.
sudo apt-get install libboost-thread1.46.1
