Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openjdk-6-jdk: Depends: openjdk-6-jre (= 6b09-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

E: Broken packages

It seems that OpenJDK is depends on tzdata-java, and tzdata-java have broken dependency. So OpenJDK can not be installed too,

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
2) apt-cache policy openjdk-6-jdk
openjdk-6-jdk:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 6b09-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
     6b09-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages

3) OpenJDK must be installed.
4) openJDK is not installed because of broken dependency.

if OpenJDK is installed next usage of 'apt-get upgrade' will destroy OpenJDK, so java become unavailable on my computer.

May be better to make openjdk independent from tzdata-java, then fix tzdata-java.

sources.list file:

deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse

there is unfixable bug in tzdata-java bugtracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/241268

So better solution is to make openjdk independent from tzdata-java, then fix tzdata-java.

Openjdk is at 6b11 in hardy -updates.
You don't have hardy-updates line for universe and multiverse. Please add those lines and then report back.

I have default sources.list file. Is it necessary to change that file to
make something work?

I thought that hardy repository must be stable. Is not it?
