Thanks for your report.

The error is
=====
Unpacking sun-java6-jre (from .../sun-java6-jre_6-15-1_all.deb) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Passthrough
debconf: (Cannot connect to /tmp/aptdaemon-dq2cVq/debconf.socket: Connection refused at (eval 22) line 3)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Noninteractive

sun-dlj-v1-1 license could not be presented
try 'dpkg-reconfigure debconf' to select a frontend other than noninteractive

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/sun-java6-jre_6-15-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
=====

Open a terminal and run the command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf

Select a frontend other than noninteractive and then try to perform the upgrade again. This will likely fix your issue. If so, then set the status as 'Invalid'.

Thanks.
