[Bug 1482862] Re: package openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Not exactly sure what's going wrong, but it seems like you should try:

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-7-jre-
headless

as essential files appear to be missing from both of those packages.
