Download the javadoc zip (from Sun website) file and copy it to /tmp...

so re-run it.

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.

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