install ROS on ubuntu14.04.3, depends errors

when I tried to install ROS in a 64-bit Ubuntu14.04.3 following this document, some problems occurred.

After I configured my Ubuntu repositories to allow "restricted," "universe," and "multiverse,I did this:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0xB01FA116

then I entered:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full

I got errors: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

ros-indigo-desktop-full:i386 : Depends: ros-indigo-desktop:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: ros-indigo-perception:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: ros-indigo-simulators:i386 but it is not going to be installed
unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed    
          Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed

then I tried this to fix the depends:

sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

It did not work.

Then I tried this :

sudo apt-get install libsdformat1

Still errors, I tried this:

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

I got many errors about i386 like this:

-mesa-dev-lts-utopic:i386 : Depends: mesa-common-dev-lts-utopic:i386 (= 10.3.2-0ubuntu1~trusty2) but it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386 (= 10.3.2-0ubuntu1~trusty2) but it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: libdrm-dev:i386 (>= 2.4.52) but it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: libx11-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: libx11-xcb-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed

I don't know why I got such errors, beacuse my ubuntu is 64 bit. What can I do next? Thanks.

And my second question is what is the different between ROS Indigo Igloo,ROS Jade Turtle and ROS Kinetic Kame, thanks.

I would recommend installing the listed dependencies (in the tutorial you are following) :

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

That should resolve your issues.

ROS Kinetic Kame (latest), ROS Jade Turtle and ROS Indigo Igloo are different versions/distributions of ROS. Other distributions of ROS are: ROS Hydro Medusa, ROS Groovy Galapagos, ROS Fuerte Turtle, ROS Electric Emys, ROS Diamondback, ROS C Turtle, ROS Box Turtle.

ROS Indigo is primarily targeted at Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Indigo supports releasing, documenting and integration testing of catkin-based packages only. Previously, rosbuild-based packages were used which are also supported in ROS Indigo.

ROS jade Turtle is primarily targeted at Ubuntu 15.04 (Ubuntu LTS 14.04 Trusty also supported)

ROS Kinetic Kame is primarily targeted at Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) (Ubuntu 15.10 Wily and Debian Jessie also supported)

Now since you're using Ubuntu 14.04.3 64-bit, it is recommended that you install ROS Indigo.

If you're using it on a virtual drive, you can also download a pre-installed ROS distribution in Ubuntu from here.
