I also have the same problem even after a fresh install.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS install from the live CD.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Are you both using the liveCD environment? If so, then this is possibly a duplicate of bug #103933.

[fibric (dra-k-oon)]

i have the same problem on u8.04.
if i try to install icedtea-7-jdk and / or openjdk-6-jdk both packages require openjdk-6-jre-headless and this one failed to install
i add my error.log

It is a fresh install into Hard Disk from a live 8.04LTS CD.
However, I haven't tried in live CD environment.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Are you all getting the double free issue fibric has?

Please provide the console output of:
sudo aptitude install openjdk-6-jdk

[fibric (dra-k-oon)]

hi matti,
i run an webserver with ubuntu 6.10 and upgraded directly to 8.04. after that i tried to install an jdk (please find message, obove) that is needed for the apache geronimo java jsp webserver...

is there any walkthrough yet or may i need to wait for a new release?
thx & have a nice day!
fib

[fibric (dra-k-oon)]

is something going on with this issue?
i cant install openjdk and icedtea jdk because both require openjdk-6-jre-headless... so just need to use suns jdk´... its not that bad but i would like to use icedtea...

Hi I've just had the same issue with a fresh install of 8.04 (I was adding the restricted extras package)
Note: I've installed 8.04 from the alternative CD

[jim brown (jimandsalbrown)]

I tried to force the install after the add/remove packages failed - output attached

apt-get install -f

I figured out why is this happening.

When I first submit the bug report above, I am using a motherboard with VIA C3 Samuel 2, which is a 686-class CPU but WITHOUT the "cmov" instructions.

Now I have upgraded to a new motherboard with VIA C7-D 1.5Ghz, which is a 686-class CPU WITH "cmov" instructions, now the problem gone away.

So I suspect it is another "C3 cmov" problem causing Segmentation fault during installation of openjdk.

Goggling with "VIA C3 cmov", you would able to find out more information concerning this cmov problem.
