Hi

The actual problem appears to be openjdk-6-jre-headless failing to install (the postinst script exiting with error 2):

update-alternatives: error: le chemin alternatif /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java n'existe pas.
dpkg : erreur de traitement de openjdk-6-jre-headless (--configure) :
 le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 2

Unfortunately I am not able to figure out why.
