[Bug 1041773] Re: package default-jre-headless 1:1.6-43ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: Versuche, »/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk« zu überschreiben, welches auch in Paket openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu0.10.04.1 ist

What you can do is start upgrading those packages by hand, by using dpkg
and --force-overwrite.

However: once you start installing/upgrading packages manually, you risk
breaking your system even worse. So you absolutely *must* know how to
get out of a situation where the dependency graph is broken.

I would suggest to you to either find some friend of yours that is an
expert user of debian/ubuntu/dpkg based systems and do this together or
to get some professional help if it's worth it to you.

There also might be a linux or ubuntu users group meeting regulary
somewhere near you where you should be able to find someone
knowledgeable.

Or you can try your luck on some #ubuntu IRC channel.
