I have removed this package already, but I just wanted to remind that bug is
still alive. it's not the best situation that the user have to download file
manually as root and then reinstall...

You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber
of the bug.

Status in “j2se1.4-i586” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “sun-java5” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “sun-java6” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: sun-java6-doc

This is also a problem with the java5 version of this package

Trying to install these packages produces a message:

Setting up sun-java6-doc (6-00-2ubuntu1) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
JDK documentation.  You will need to go download one of the
archives:

    jdk-6-doc.zip jdk-6-doc-ja.zip

(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit

    http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

now and download.  The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp.

[Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]

We should probably use wget or something to grab these files and save users the hassle. This is annoying and unnecessary.
