After clicking on "Apply" for what Synaptic suggested (be it 'reinstall' or 'upgrade', I'm not sure) the package isn't broken anymore.
After that, when I tried to install IcedTea6 it installed well, and now everything's working fine.

Thanks

Title:
  synaptic alerted on an error when I tried to install icedtea6 for
  firefox

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried to install icedtea6 for firefox. I installed all recommended packages for it. And then I got an error message. After that, I couldn't open Synaptic (I got a blank alert window every time I tried). Then I tried to reboot, but I couldn't use the OS anymore, I got to BusyBox...
  So using the live cd I ran
  :~$ sudo fsck /dev/sda1
  and some fixes were being made. Now I can run my OS but I when I open Synaptic I'm informed that the package openjdk-6-jre-headless is broken.
  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS.
