Oneiric: broken package openjdk-6-jre

[moma]

This is a fresh Oneiric 64bit installation.
I try install openjdk-6-jre but its package-chain is broken.

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-6-jre

My intent was to replace Oracle's Java with OpenJDK. Oracle's Java comes from Canonical's Partner repo.
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge sun-java6-* gcj-*
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall icedtea-plugin openjdk-6-jre

First try with sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get update and then with sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-6-jre

Here's mine:
