Hello,
I am happend to use old hydro version and found problem. When they install `python-rosdep` , it requires `python-rosdistro (>= 0.7.0)` but hydro only support `python-rosdistro` of `0.6.9`.
```

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-rosdep : Depends: python-rosdistro (>= 0.7.0) but 0.6.9-100 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
```
Im not sure but just to update `python-rosdistro` of hydro to 0.6.9 to 0.7.0 may fail, because 0.7.0 require newer `dpkg`.
```
