I want to try out the new .net core. I am following instructs at https://www.microsoft.com/net/core, but it is not working.
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I am running ubuntu 16.04.
UPDATED see at the end. (thanks to Prasanna)
.NET core now supports Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 16.10 & Linux Mint 17.
Please check the official page for all the details.
Today (May 2016) only Ubuntu 14.04 is supported.
I successfully install it on Ubuntu 15.10 by adding
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main
to /etc/apt/sources-list
Once it's done you should do:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
and again the command
apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview1-002702a
It will ask to install extra package; you reply yes and you are done!
Test by typing
dotnet --version
Enjoy!
