Public bug reported: Binary package hint: software-center
software-center mysteriously fails on installation of openjdk-6-jre complaining about some dependency problems while giving no real clue on their cause via details but the aforementioned package name. In this case, tzdata-java is the culprit being too old against new tzdata update. aptitude's resolver is able to clarify this. Being clueless, I first removed sun-java6-jre... -- precise error messages are a good thing!
