Public bug reported:

In attempting to install icedtea-netx on Ubuntu 14.10, I get the
following errors:

Setting up icedtea-netx:i386 (1.5.1-1ubuntu1) ...

while processing:
 icedtea-netx:i386
 icedtea-7-plugin:i386
 icedtea-plugin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Similar problems occur trying to install icedtea-plugin.

1. This is release 14.10, and the error has been observed in Lubuntu,
and ubuntuMate.  I haven't tried other Ubuntu variants.

2. The version of the package being installed is: icedtea-netx:i386
(1.5.1-1ubuntu1)

3. I expected it to install (using OpenJava 7) as it has on Ubuntu 14.04

4. It appears to have installed icedtea-plugin, yet every time I try to
install something else, it produces error status (above), though it
seems to actually install what I requested.
