I was able to resolve this by ensuring that the default-jre-headless package is installed BEFORE installing Jenkins from the apt repo. If you instead let the Jenkins install drag that in as a dependency, the install will fail as described previously.

I am running a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS vm. I used the repo instructions from: http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable/ to install. I get exactly the same output as the original poster. This vm has no previously installed java or jenkins on it. After the apt-get install fails, if I just run apt-get install again jenkins starts and works. Apt automatically installs openjdk 7, so that looks ok. I can replicate this at will and using the 'non stable' repo (https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/) generates the same results.

I believe that the Jenkins installer for Ubuntu (and Debian) wants to start the Jenkins server, and it won't start the Jenkins server if RUN_STANDALONE=false.

The latest Jenkins requires at least Java 7. Check that openjdk or Oracle Java are the java implementations, rather than gcj. Jenkins does not run with gcj as the java implementation. Ubuntu 12.04 is an older Linux release, nearing the end of its vendor provided support life (April 2017 will end support for it). You might perform a test installation on a different computer running a newer Ubuntu version (like 14.04 or 16.04).
