I'm trying to install a python package called libsbml. The instructions on the website tell me to use the following commands and that this should be enough to install the package:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/fbergman:/libsbml/xUbuntu_14.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/python-libsbml.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-libsbml

However I get the following error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python-libsbml : Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.9) but 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Despite having the latest version of libstdc++6 isntalled. Could anybody advice me on how to get this package installed?

------------edit ------------ Here is a link to the instructions I am using: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Afbergman%3Alibsbml&package=python-libsbml

I am using Ubuntu 14.04

Are you using xubuntu or debian? Why are you using Ubuntu repo instead of Debian one? Please check again the obs page instructions –  andcoz Aug 26 at 12:53

To install the libSBML package in Ubuntu 14.04, first install the Python development packages and the Pip install system: 

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip

Then install the libSBML dependencies and development libraries: 

sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev 
sudo apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install bzip2 libbz2-dev

Finally, install libSBML: 

sudo pip install python-libsbml
