Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic

Tried to install Sun Java (sun-java6-jre) from apt, but on first user
agreement screen, terminal stopped accepting input; apt-get remove and
apt-get autoremove returned "package is in very unstable state,
reinstall before uninstalling" error. Finally resolved by complete-
uninstalling (failed) and reinstalling from Synaptic.
