[Bug 615168] [NEW] Endless stream of repair dialogs after declining sun-java6-plugin EULA

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu QA's Bug Bot (crichton):

software-center trunk r2269, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

Installer crashes when installing sun-java6-plugin if software center is
closed before displaying the license dialog.

1 Enable partner sources.
2 Start the installation of sun-java6-plugin
3. When the "Configuring sun-java6-jre" dialog appears, click "Forward" *without* first clicking "Do you accept the DLJ license terms?".

What happens:
* Two error dialogs appear.
* An "Items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalogue is repaired" dialog appears.
* Another "Items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalogue is repaired" dialog appears on top of it.
* For as long as you click "Repair" in these dialogs, they keep appearing.
* Even trying to remove sun-java6-plugin from USC doesn't work.

What should happen:
* Either zero or one error dialog appears.
* The package is not left part-installed in the first place.

Workaround: Close USC. Then at a terminal, enter the command "sudo apt-
get remove sun-java6-plugin".
