Can't install openSDK 6 - ubuntu 10.04

  • 772

While trying to install openJDK to start installing netbeans 6.9 - I'm getting this:

The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.

I read it... and I have no clue what to do next. :( how can we repair that?

I have forget openSDK and I'm trying the java one. All seems to go well... but know I'm stuck here: jdk on terminal

And here is the amazing question: How can I click or hit, or push or something, that OK?

Arrows, Page Up and Page Down work. Enter and Click don't.

Anyone?

    Run:

    sudo dpkg --configure -a

    EDIT:

    As the original message says, you have to repair the error (run the above command) regardless. However, if you do want to install the Sun JRE, you use tab to get to the OK.
