Which version of openjdk-8 did you have installed at that time?
It might be helpful if you can include any history.log* and term.log*
files from /var/log/apt that contain entries for openjdk-8-jre-headless
package. If in doubt please just attach all the files under /var/log/apt
(you might pack them in a zip or tarball file to do a single upload).

The rmid binary is actually in the java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin
directory. As for the symlink you mentioned, it links java-8-openjdk-
amd64/bin/rmid to it.
$ dpkg-deb -c openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u121-b13-0ubuntu1.16.04.2_amd64.deb |
grep bin/rmid
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 6504 2017-01-23 15:05
./usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/rmid
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2017-01-23 15:05
./usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/rmid -> ../jre/bin/rmid
