See bugs #462725 and #462727: dh_icons from package debhelper puts an
incorrect invocation of update-icon-caches into the post-removal script.
This problem is supposed to be fixed now (version 1.5.0-14-3 in Sid).
To get your package manager unstuck, use a text editor to open the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-java5-bin.postrm and change the line
update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/sun-java5.png
to
update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/
(line numer 36).
Then run "aptitude install -f". I cannot test this on my system, but I
am pretty sure that it should work. If it does not work then comment out
line 36 by putting an "#" in front of it and run the aptitude command
again.
