We are still using old JDK 6u45 for some legacy projects. The installation of the JDK is automated in Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS VirtualBox virtual machine. Everything worked fine using the 'sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer' until yesterday.
Unfortunately, now the installation fails due to unsuccessful download of the binary from Oracle!
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer

download failed
Oracle JDK 6 is NOT installed.
dpkg: error processing package oracle-java6-installer (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
oracle-java6-installer
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It is still possible to manually download the binary from Oracle site, but this is not a viable option for an automated environment setup.
Any ideas?
