How to install kurento-media-server-6.0 in Ubuntu Linux 16.04

Your are probably using trusty repositories, because there are the ones indicated by the documentation.

If you are using xenial, you should change your configuration file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kurento.list

deb http://ubuntu.kurento.org xenial kms6

Then try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kurento-media-server-6.0 again.

By the way, take into account that kurento officially supports only trusty (14.04). xenial works, but documentation is done for trusty only.
