Title:
  Endless stream of repair dialogs after declining sun-java6-plugin EULA

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “sun-java6” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “software-center” source package in Oneiric:

Bug description:
  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".
