I'm trying to install JDK7 on ubuntu 12.4.

In the first try, the power has gone and the laptop shutdown in the middle of downloading JDK7 using terminal as I was using the next terminal commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

when the power returned and I tried to install JDK7 again there was a problem with the lock but I fixed it using the following commands after restarting the machine

sudo apt-get install whatever

after that I tried installing again using the three commands above, the first was done with no errors and the second too,

but the third command downloaded the package successfully but an error appeared

Download done.

Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.

dpkg: error processing oracle-java7-installer (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:

 oracle-java7-installer

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I searched for solutions for this error and found some, tried the following instructions

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 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java 

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

tried again but the same "Oracle JDK7 is NOT installed" error appeared.

tried sudo apt-get -f install

salahuddin@salahuddin:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
