Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to update openjdk-7-jre-headless. Please execute the following
commands, as it will clear your package cache and then perform an
update+upgrade, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade

This will likely resolve your issue. Thanks in advance!
