I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.
I have Jade with default Gazebo (5) installed for a course I'm taking.
Then my other course requires Indigo. So I installed Indigo as second ROS on my system and this is where my problem begins.This is my steps:
1. I installed ros-indigo-desktop.
2. Since I already have Gazebo 5, I only installed ros-indigo-gazebo5-ros-pkgs following this link
http://gazebosim.org/tutorials/?tut=ros_wrapper_versions
Everything seems fine. Then I moved on to installing turtlebot. http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/Debs%20Installation
1. Then I can't install ros-indigo-turtlebot-simulator,
2. because ros-indigo-turtlebot-simulator can't be installed
3. because ros-indigo-turtlebot-simulator can't be installed, which looks for gazebo2
Is there a way to resolve this dependency issue?
I don't have to use gazebo 5 on Indigo, but I can't install ros-indigo-desktop-full due to Gazebo 5 on Jade.
Thanks

UPDATE
I ended up installing packages from source. http://answers.ros.org/question/208963/installing-package-from-source-in-indigo/ Things are installed, but I haven't tried interacting with the hardware yet using these packages yet.
First turtlebot_simulator, and kobuki_desktop from source http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot_simulator?distro=indigo , http://wiki.ros.org/kobuki_desktop
Then the rest from source: http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/Source%20Installation (without the first step these install from source would still complain about missing/unable to install packages depending on gazebo2)
(Note: For some reason I would get multiple package with same name errors during rosdep install at the second step. I had to manually remove the duplicates.)

UPDATE 2
I'm having problem with moving Indigo turtlebot in Gazebo5. its almost as if it doesn't move. If I hold the move key on turtlebot_telop long enough, I could see the displacement. I might stop pursuing this matter and consider suggestions below
