As mentioned in ROS Installation Guide for Ubuntu, you need to install some dependencies manually for 14.04.2 . Quoting from the page:

If you are using Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.2 and experience dependency issues during the ROS installation, you may have to install some additional system dependencies. (Do not install these packages if you are using 14.04, it will destroy your X server)

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev-lts-utopic mesa-common-dev-lts-utopic libxatracker-dev-lts-utopic libopenvg1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgles1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgbm-dev-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic

Alternatively, try installing just this to fix dependency issues: (Do not install the above packages if you are using 14.04, it will destroy your X server)

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic
