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 have also tried doing what says in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java :
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
Then:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
And still no luck :( Could anyone help me? I am quite lost at why It isn't working. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Found a solution in the following link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/414885/oracle-jdk-7-is-not-installed-error
SOLUTION:
sudo dpkg -P oracle-java7-installer
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
