I have the same problem,
I have send a bug report earlier and they suggested that I did not check the 'accept licence'.
 I'm not sure I did or didn't at first cause I vaguely remember the window was hidden behind another one but I did check it after all.
Now I can't install anything, synaptic keeps asking to 'manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem'

and then the terminal asks me for the missing file ( jdk-6-doc.zip)
This missing file 'jdk-6-doc.zip' appears to have a different name (jdk-6u10-docs.zip) now, but the terminal wants the jdk-6-doc.zip.
I thought uninstalling the whole java thing would solve it, but I cannot use synaptic because it asks for the 'dpkg --configure -a'-thing and that one asks for the jdk-6-doc file.

is there a way to solve this?
