"Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed" error even though JDK is installed

Question

I installed Java Jdk manually by downloading jdk-7u40-linux-x64.tar.gz and following this link. When I check its version, it's OK:

user@mylaptop:~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b56, mixed mode)

But when I try to install pip by using this command:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

or input something like this:

sudo apt-get -f install

I get this error:

user@mylaptop:~$ sudo apt-get install python-pip

Can you tell me how to fix this?

Solution

You have webupd8's oracle-java7-installer installed in your system which is trying to install oracle java by downloading it from Oracle site. Oracle website is restricting your access, and that is why you are getting this error.

If you have installed Java manually, you can remove oracle-java7-installer.

Run following command to fix it.

sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install -f

It should solve the dpkg error.
