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

  Seemingly, icedtea-netx tried to activate JDK7 even though JDK7 was
  not installed (see icedtea-netx.postinst.in in the source package).

  The following work-around resolves the problem:

  # cd /usr/lib/jvm && ln -s java-8-openjdk-amd64 java-7-openjdk-amd64
  # apt-get install -f
