I think you need to do the step manually, i.e. download the package and put it into the directory /tmp with root:root as user/group as described in the output.

Additionally isn't this a duplicate of Bug 85969? At least a very similar thing is discussed there for a long time already.

This was not That bug; I forget the specifics.. I am aware of the need to manually place the actual javadocs in a place to be pointed at by the package installer such as the default /temp, but this particular error was the only one that presented itself amidst a slew of other package and boot-up issues that crippleId my system, causing random crashes when d/l-ing packages for install, or any other content via firefox (when booting Was able to start X) or from terminal.

  Interestingly, this problem occured as I reinstalled 9.04, where the system was stable before doing a 'clean' install. Before this 'clean' install I upgraded the distro to 9.04 from 8.10 with No problems at all. The need to reinstall 9.04 was do to over-tinkering. I still have no idea what the differences were that caused my problem..

Thank you for taking a look at my reported problem!

personally i would suggest to un-confirm this bug until there is a precise description of how this is different from Bug 85969 mentioned by Dominik and there is a explanation of how to reproduce this.

judging from the duplicates this seems to be exactly the aforementioned bug and should be marked as duplicate thereof. or - because it is cumbersome to move all the duplicates - we could mark it as invalid and add a hint in the description to look there...

It would be fine to un-confirm; How would I do that?
Also, in future, are there fundamental logs that I can post with bug reports at the time of bug?

As far as a 'precise' description, I can make a general attempt, but it was so long ago that I don't think it would be accurte to the point of my own memory 'filling' in blanks.. However, my issue had to do with incoming data through network, not about package installation itself, but that it had to download to do so and would (seemingly radomly) crash. This particular error was the only thing that would catch to report. At first it seemed that any D/L bundles around 600-900mbytes or video streams for 20+ mins would incur the crash ( crash = system freeze/unresponsiveness ), then it began doing so on smaller package installs such as what included the sun-java6-doc*. I suspected hardware, so I stripped all extra hardware; i.e. 4x 2G memory down to one 2G stick at a time, rotating them each (same) failure, stripped & swapped the two video cards, turned off all unessessary periphrials in BIOS, as well as using different nics, All with stress testing.. crash always came back in each config, while network was actively d/l'ing. Could be mobo/cpu.. The Only way it stopped was either to go back to Ubuntu Studio 8.10 or use ubuntu 9.04.

I assume the bug report also reports the flavor of ubuntu, but if not I first Upgraded from studio 8.10 to studio 9.04 with no probs, except from what I did to it, and needed to do a clean install to studio 9.04, which is where this issue presented itself..

All in all, If the moderator feels that it's nessessary to null this report, feel free to do so- I moved on from this..
But thank you all for addressing this post!

i am by no means a moderator or something like that, but i think a centralized discussion would be positive.
for the sake of simplicity i will mark this report as invalid and ask you to continue discussion at bug 85969 because marking it as duplicate is not practicable with launchpad. i suggested this in comment #6
@ToFue: what you describe is not related to this error discussed here imho and you should open a new report if it still bugs you.
