When I attempt to Install-Package Twitter.Bootstrap in an empty mvc4 web project I get this
Install-Package Twitter.Bootstrap
Attempting to resolve dependency 'bootstrap (≥ 3.0.1)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'jquery (≥ 1.9.0)'.
Install-Package : External packages cannot depend on packages that target projects.

- [Instructor] Anytime a package is installed, NuGet also installs any additional package on which that first package depends. Installing these dependency packages happens on the original install or when reinstalled and also during a restore process.
Any time a package is installed or reinstalled, which includes being installed as part of a restore process, NuGet also installs any additional packages on which that first package depends. Those immediate dependencies might then also have dependencies on their own, which can continue to an arbitrary depth.
To manage your package sources, select the Settings icon or select Tools > Options. In the Options window, expand the NuGet Package Manager node and select Package Sources. To add a source, select +, edit the Name, enter the URL or path in Source, and then select Update.
I had the same problem, this work for me:
Install-Package Bootstrap
"As of v3.0.1.1 the Twitter.Boostrap package will begin redirecting users to the Bootstrap package managed by the Outercurve foundation. The reason for this move is pretty simple. Bootstrap is a cleaner namespace since the project dropped the twitter name a few releases ago and Bootstrap now officially ships with the Visual Studio 2013 ASP.Net templates. So to avoid confusion on which release is "official", we've agreed to redirect everyone over to the new Microsoft maintained namespace."

I encountered the same error with both VS 2010 and VS 2012. The suggested solution did not solve the problem, but I did notice that the NuGet Package for Bootstrap is dated Nov 1, 2013 (yesterday). The new package has version number 3.0.1.1 and it lists a dependency of Bootstrap version 3.0.1 or higher. It appears there is an error in version 3.0.1.1 of this package with a circular reference in the dependency. Look for version 3.0.1 by the same authors.

I am assuming you are using Visual Studio 2012. In VS2012 new MVC4 projects are loaded with jquery 1.7 by default. But Bootstrap 3.0.1 has a dependency on jquery 1.9 or higher
So first run
update-package jQuery
and then
install-package twitter.bootstrap
