I am trying to install xpad, Wine and get same error.

sudo apt-get install xpad

Error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: The package jdk1.8.0-101 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

How to fix it, thanks.

[UPDATE] I try to remove jdk1.8.0_101

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq  jdk1.8.0-101

dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
dpkg: warning: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should

I think I lack the folders because i manually remove it myself.

Looks like you have a package in an inconsistent state which prevents you from installing anything.

You could try answers in this question, replacing linux-headers-3.0.0-19 with jdk1.8.0-101, see if it helps.

It's probably a good idea to reinstall the package properly afterwards (chances are something depends on it ...)
