There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.
Details:

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
