Comment 4 for bug 1396760

Reproduce with Virtualbox:

lubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso (md5:60e666e9459ec52e56aa6cbd94d6895e)
No install, boot into life-system
(Kernel Boot Parameter vga=791 for display bug)
Then in the Live-System:
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless

--or--

ubuntu-14.10-server-amd64.iso (md5:91bd1cfba65417bfa04567e4f64b5c55)
Default install, only openssh-server installed
Then in the installed system:
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless

Java bug also triggered, when you do an system update before java install:
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 reboot
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless

debian-live-7.7.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso
-->could not be tested, there exists no openjdk-8-* package in default apt config
