Foreman 1.7 installation error in Ubuntu 12.04

Support

I am trying to install foreman/puppet-enterprise for almost 7 days now
without success. Why am I getting the below error???

sudo apt-get install foreman foreman-sqlite3 foreman-libvirt

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

foreman : Depends: facter (>= 1.6.12-1puppetlabs2)

       Recommends: foreman-proxy but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Try To install 1.12 foreman could be related to the version of
foreman+puppet that is not compatible

Please note that Foreman packages are generally not compatible with
Puppet Enterprise packages - they depend on "puppet" or "puppet-agent"
(in 1.12 and above, 1.7 is very old) which come from the open source
version of Puppet.

You may be able to hack around it by ignoring dependencies during
installation, but you should generally use the open source Puppet repos
detailed in the quickstart guide:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/latest/quickstart_guide.html
