[Bug 1302736] Re: apt 0.9.15.4ubuntu4 uninstalls ppa:webupd8team/java oracle-java[78]-installer

[Kevin]

I ended up installing the old version of apt downloaded from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/0.9.15.4ubuntu3/+build/5872859
then locked the version using the synaptic package manager. I guess I just stick with this version until the problem's solved.

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This morning's update to the "apt" package (0.9.15.4ubuntu4) adds sun-
  java6-jdk to the Breaks/Replaces list for apt.  This unfortunately
  creates a conflict with oracle-java7-installer / oracle-
  java8-installer from ppa:webupd8team/java, both of which "Provide"
  sun-java6-jdk:

  apt (0.9.15.4ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=low

    Cherry pick fixes from the apt 1.0 branch:

    [ Michael Vogt ]
    * add sun-java{5,6}-jdk to breaks/replaces as that provided a "apt"
      binary as well
