Merci pour ces informations.

En anglais pour ceux ne parlant pas français. The error is
=====
Setting up sun-java6-plugin (6-07-3ubuntu2) ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so: No such file or directory

Affecting to sun-java6 but can't be reproduced in 8.04 ( sun-java6-plugin 6-07-3ubuntu2 )

Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
