I try to run:

  sam@sam:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-octovis

                        Depends: libqglviewer-qt4 but it is not installable
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What's this question means? Which lib caused couldn't install libqt4?

How to find that and fix it?

Thank you~

But after this operation, the problem still the same.

I still can't install ros-fuerte-octovis.

How to solve it?

Unfortunately, there is currently a problem with the released octovis package: The dependencies are just wrong. This will be resolved once the build server catches up and the newest version becomes available.

Until that time you can either build octovis from source or install the correct version from here: http://50.28.27.175/repos/building/pool/main/r/ros-fuerte-octovis/

Pick your right Ubuntu version and x86 or 64 bit, download the .deb file and run

sudo dpkg -i ros-fuerte-octovis_1.4.2-4*.deb

on it.

Sorry for the trouble!

Try aptitude instead of apt-get. It should show you where the problem originates from and might suggest a solution.
