Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry for the delay in responding.

This precise bug doesn't seem to exist any more: openjdk-6-jre
6b23~pre8-1ubuntu1 installs fine for me. Therefore I'm marking this as a
duplicate of bug 655246, about poor feedback when package installations
fail in general. If this particular package still doesn't install for
you, please unmark the duplicate.

Title:
  fails to clarify deps problem on installation of openjdk-6-jre

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  software-center mysteriously fails on installation of openjdk-6-jre
  complaining about some dependency problems while giving no real clue
  on their cause via details but the aforementioned package name.

  In this case, tzdata-java is the culprit being too old against new
  tzdata update. aptitude's resolver is able to clarify this. Being
  clueless, I first removed sun-java6-jre... -- precise error messages
  are a good thing!
