dpkg thinks the file exists, but it's not there..

Extracting the package, I see that it's supposed to be a link to
../jre/bin which does not exist.

Manually downloading the package from
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-8/openjdk-8-jre-
headless_8u121-b13-0ubuntu1.16.04.2_amd64.deb

and installing it via: dpkg -i <filename> works.
