i canceled my sun-java6 upgrade a few days ago because i couldn't read the user agreement. now when i try to install it with apt-get, i am getting the following errors. any ideas?

thanks,
daryl

Close Synaptic if you have it open.
sudo apt-get clean
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
