Title:
  Errors Installing icedtea-netx

Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In attempting to install icedtea-netx on Ubuntu 14.10, I get the
  following errors:

   icedtea-7-plugin:i386
   icedtea-plugin
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Similar problems occur trying to install icedtea-plugin.

  1. This is release 14.10, and the error has been observed in Lubuntu,
  and ubuntuMate.  I haven't tried other Ubuntu variants.

  2. The version of the package being installed is: icedtea-netx:i386
  (1.5.1-1ubuntu1)

  3. I expected it to install (using OpenJava 7) as it has on Ubuntu
  14.04

  4. It appears to have installed icedtea-plugin, yet every time I try
  to install something else, it produces error status (above), though it
  seems to actually install what I requested.
