I seem to get the same error. I installed sun-java6-jre and sun- java6-bin the other day, and then decided to remove it, but I only got the error mentioned above. Today there was an update, which couldn't be installed, so I tried to remove it again, an then re-installed with the update.
When I run sudo dpkg --remove sun-java6-bin I get a dependency-error (-jre depends on ia32-sun-java6-bin | sun-java6-bin) so I tried sudo dpkg --remove sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre and got the following: (Reading database ... 126157 files and directories currently installed.) Removing sun-java6-bin ... update-binfmts: /var/lib/binfmts/jexec corrupt: out of binfmt data reading package dpkg: error processing sun-java6-bin (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 No theme index file in '/usr/share/icons/sun-java6.png'.
