I'm seeing the same problem:

$sudo apt-get install tzdata-java
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
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.
  tzdata-java: Depends: tzdata (= 2008b-1ubuntu1) but 2008c-1ubuntu0.8.04 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Can anyone suggest a workaround to force this install? Being unable to install the "real" JDK is a fairly big deal for me!
