Oracle JDK 10 is NOT installed.

Solution 1

There is a not fully installed or removed package. For solution just delete or uninstall it.

Use:

sudo apt-get purge "package name"

sudo apt-get purge oracle-java10-installer

Solution 2

Solution#1

Uninstall JDK first. Then check source.list in /etc/apt/ folder, remove any line containing jdk path. After that do sudo apt-get update. And then sudo apt-get -f install

Solution#2

Before installing anything run the following command.

sudo apt-get -f install

what does it do? It installs all the dependent packages that weren't installed when installing the previous package. sudo apt-get -f install this will fix your issue

Try sudo apt-get update then try again!

Are you saying that you want to prevent Oracle JDK 10 from trying (and failing) to install every time? Did you still want some form of JDK to install? Or did you already install JDK some other way?

[Ivan Gonzalez]

It did not work. I got the same error

GENIOUS!!!! It works. I just used sudo apt-get purge oracle-java10-installer

In this specific case it's because Oracle modified it's website and how the JRE/JDK download works with respect to accepting their license agreement.
