Hi all,

I am new to ubuntu.I tried to install jdk 7 using the command

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk


But I am getting the following error :

Errors were encountered while processing:
oracle-java7-installer
libaccess-bridge-java
libaccess-bridge-java-jni
openjdk-7-jre
openjdk-7-jdk
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


How to rectify the above error


Thanks in advance

Regards,

Hi and welcome to the forums,

Could you please try running:

sudo apt-get install -f

Then try your installation again. This command tries to repair the error that's preventing you from installing the package.
