Revision history [back]

I had the exact same issue. I solved it by tracking down the dependencies that caused this. I did this by asking one of the unmet dependencies to be be installed. You do this multiple times to go deeper in the dependency chain. At the end I found out that qt5 was the issue. I ran sudo apt-get purge '.*qt5*.' and ran sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full again. It worked.
