The PPA does not contain sun-java6-jre, and is irrelevant to this problem.

If your package manager was interrupted, just try:
	$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
This will finish the current operation and you will be able to use apt again. 
It will probably continue the installation of sun-java6-jre.

Now, if you have trouble accepting the Agreement (in a practical sense), why 
not try a free Java? After all, it is the default in (K)Ubuntu 8.10.

First remove sun-java6-jre
	$ sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jre
Install the default JRE
	$ sudo apt-get install default-jre
