This failure also can be caused by misleading license agreement (DJL). In my case, while installing sun-java6-jre, I've been gracefully asked to accept the license agreement. I've pressed "next" without scrolling through the agreement (not really interested in, as I've a home use installation) - and received bunch of error messages, that drove me here.
To get things running, one needs to scroll down through license agreement and tick the box "I Agree".
Hope that helps some guys that get here by the same cause :)
