I have this exact same problem. 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.
