I have installed java JDK following this tutorial:

http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en

The installation was ok but every time I install or uninstall anything, I get this message:

I have checked my sources.list and the is no reference to this.

How to remove this code from trying to install it every time?

Problem solved, running these commands:

Just looking for any Java installer I found it in this directory and removed it

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle-java7-installer*
sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer*

Run this if you have any Java repository on your sources.list, it was not my case.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*java*
sudo apt-get update

    Just a warning for others: Don't modify or delete files in /var/lib/dpkg unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

  • Yes, I did that because I new what the problem was.

Java isn't installing correctly so every time you try to install something, apt attempts to fix that package. Looking at the output there it's failing to download (every time it downloads the java package, it is corrupt). You have two options.

1) Keep letting it try until it finally successfully downloads the package. 2) Uninstall oracle-java7-installer
