I also tried to do what is said in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java :

 sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle-java7-installer* sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer* sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*java* sudo apt-get update 

Then:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer 

And still no luck :( Can someone help me? I completely lost why it does not work. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: solution found at the following link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/414885/oracle-jdk-7-is-not-installed-error

DECISION:

 sudo dpkg -P oracle-java7-installer sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer 

Answer 1

To install oracle java, follow these steps:

Download the latest Java SE SDK.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Cancel archive :

 tar -xzvf jdk-8-linux-x64.tar.gz mv jdk1.8.0 /opt cd /opt/jdk1.8.0 

This step registers the downloaded version of Java as an alternative and switches it to use by default:

 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java 1 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/javac 1 update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /opt/jdk1.8.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 1 update-alternatives --set java /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java update-alternatives --set javac /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/javac update-alternatives --set mozilla-javaplugin.so /opt/jdk1.8.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 

Test

To check the Java version, you now run

 java -version 

Output

 java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode) 

To check the browser plugin, go to http://www.java.com/ and click on "Do I have Java?"

Answer 3

sudo dpkg -P oracle-java7-installer

sudo apt-get -f install

Answer 4

I think that your download is damaged, you need to first remove the damaged package by code:

 sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer 

clear your apt:

 sudo apt clean 

remove and reimport rotopography:

 sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update 

install the package again:

 sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer 

enjoy your brother! if the problem persists, try using a VPN. There may be filtering between you and the oracle website.

Answer 5

The reason is this: WHY ORACLE JAVA 7 AND 6 INSTALLERS DO NOT WORK

If you have an Oracle Support account, and you really need Oracle JDK 6 or 7, you can get installers from WebUpd8 PPU to work by downloading the binaries and placing them in the following folder:

• / var / cache / oracle-jdk6-installer / for JDK 6 (you will need version 6u45)
• / var / cache / oracle-jdk7-installer / for JDK 7 (you will need version 7u80 for 32-bit and 64-bit or 7u60 for the hand).

... and then install the oracle-java6-installer or oracle-java7-installer package.

Answer 6

I tried the solution, but still did not work. Even when I tried to download jdk-tar from the Oracle site, it still failed by about 30-50 MB. Anyway, I found an article that talks about this, and finally it has been fixed!

Oracle adds oracle-java7-installer license and now it does not work (published in March 2014)

Basically the steps are similar, with the exception of the last:

 sudo apt-get update sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
