I was following sudo apt-get update to add the java 8 repo to apt-get

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

Again update the apt-get repo

$ sudo apt-get update

Finally install java 8

$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

but I had a lot of errors, so I fixed and reinstalled them, but now it shows this image:

screenshot from running apt

ho@jhost:~$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
oracle-java8-installer is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

so I want to know java version is 8

ho@jhost:~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.8.4

You can select the system wide java default executable via update-alternatives. Run the update-alternatives command with --list option to see the currently installed alternatives:

$ update-alternatives --list java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
...

Than change the default to your required java version with:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

and follow the instruction on the screen.

Oracle JDK 8 is NOT installed.

The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:

Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

So I think it have to problem with URL path, java8 release version and sha256.

ho@jhost:~/Downloads$ sha256sum jdk-8u202-linux-x64.tar.gz

Find sha256 of tar.gz file,

ho@jhost:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo sed -i 's|SHA256SUM_TGZ="53c29507e2405a7ffdbba627e6d64856089b094867479edc5ede4105c1da0d65"|SHA256SUM_TGZ="9a5c32411a6a06e22b69c495b7975034409fa1652d03aeb8eb5b6f59fd4594e0"|' oracle-java8-installer.*

oracle-java8-installer pointed 8u191 version. so changed several things.

ho@jhost:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo sed -i 's|JAVA_VERSION=8u191|JAVA_VERSION=8u202|' oracle-java8-installer.*
ho@jhost:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo sed -i 's|J_DIR=jdk1.8.0_191|J_DIR=jdk1.8.0_202|' oracle-java8-installer.*

And then,

ho@jhost:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Oracle JDK 8 installed

#####Important########
To set Oracle JDK8 as default, install the "oracle-java8-set-default" package.
E.g.: sudo apt install oracle-java8-set-default
On Ubuntu systems, oracle-java8-set-default is most probably installed
automatically with this package.

I did it! thanks all again.
