ros melodic unment dependencies

I'm trying to install ros melodic on ubuntu 18.04 following instructions in this page http://wiki.ros.org/melodic/Installation/Ubuntu, when I use this command sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop-full I get the following message

Reading package lists... Done

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ros-melodic-desktop-full : Depends: ros-melodic-desktop but it is not going to be installed

I tried to install ros-melodic-desktop but it keeps giving me dependencies error messages. Any help, please.

sudo apt-get autoremove

if this doesn't work then just reinstall ubuntu. That's a faster way of get rid of these issues.
