Running these commands should fix your problem:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --purge reinstall oracle-java7-installer
sudo apt-get upgrade

If they do not, then please edit your question to include all the text from the Terminal from when you ran them (as the output would still be diagnostically useful).

  • Its not working still i got that error. and I updated the question again. – KKK May 21 '12 at 17:27
  • @Mifas If you want to continue trying to get the method you're using to work, then please also provide the output of apt-cache policy oracle-java7-installer in your question. But you might consider using this method instead. – Eliah Kagan May 21 '12 at 17:31

    @Mifas If the solution at http://askubuntu.com/questions/126372/sha256sum-mismatch-jdk-7u3-linux-x64-tar-gz-error-when-trying-to-install-orac does work for you, please comment here and I'll delete this answer (because that would mean this answer is just a less-good version of that answer). – Eliah Kagan May 23 '12 at 14:29

The fix is quite simple, actually. Please install Synaptic Package Manager in the Ubuntu Software Center, first. After installed, you will need to open it with root privilages:

sudo synaptic

Search for Oracle-java7-installer, right click on it, and completely remove it. Apply the changes, remove the PPA, and your error messages will be gone.enter image description here

  • +1 Had sha256sum mismatch with oracle-java8-installer using synaptic and marking for complete removal then reinstalling worked for me. – earcam Jun 13 '13 at 00:34

Synaptic Package Manager is very useful in removing a file which has a dependency issue, and particularly when sudo apt-get install -f does not work.
