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`.



```

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

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`.





```

root at 1fbf52b0247d:~# dpkg -i python-rosdistro_0.7.2-100_all.deb 

dpkg-deb: error: archive 'python-rosdistro_0.7.2-100_all.deb' contains not understood data member control.tar.xz, giving up
