hi Alan,

Can you double-check the contents of
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list?  For your system, it should
have this line:

deb http://code.ros.org/packages/ros/ubuntu lucid main

I would guess that you have 'maverick' in there, instead of 'lucid,'
which will make apt-get pull debs for the wrong Ubuntu version.
Assuming that that's problem, fix the line, 'sudo apt-get update' and
try again.
