package sun-java6-jre 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2

Binary package hint: sun-java6-doc

I was not able to install sun-java6-doc using KPackageKit. When I tried to install some software using Konsole, it suggested downloading the documentation manually and copying to /tmp before going on. I stopped by typing 'no'. After updating the system via KPackageKit, the following error messages appeared: 'package sun-java6-jre 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2', 'package sun-java6-jdk 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2' and 'package libc6-i686 2.9-4ubuntu6.1 failed to install/upgrade: package libc6-i686 is already installed and configured'.
