Title:
  dpkg-deb unable to install/upgrade oracle-java8-installer

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running a 10.04 LTS machine (32-bit) and it seem that the oracle-
  java8-installer now uses the more recent compression option that is
  not supported by the version of dpkg that is currently used by 10.04

  Indirectly this is a security risk as java is well known for
  vulnerabilities and being unable to update a package when it has come
  through the official repository is a problem!

  Upon running 'apt-get upgrade' this was the error message:

  Preparing to replace oracle-java8-installer 8b115-0~webupd8~0 (using .../oracle-java8-installer_8b119-0~webupd8~0_all.deb) ...
