Have you tried the Blackdown JDK debs?
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian/dists/
Haven't used them myself, but they seemed to get good reviews on this list
over the last couple of weeks. I will probably be installing them for work
Thu instead of going with the tarball from Sun.

This isn't good, but I don't know what the problem is either :(.

OK, this one's because the other didn't get installed.
Try
echo "libstdc++2.10-dev hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "libc6-dev hold" | dpkg --set-selections
That will put both of those packages on hold. This might break other stuff
if they require those packages at newer revisions than what you have
installed. Hopefully nothing does :).
If this works, the rest of the system can be dist-upgraded, then you
can try installing those packages manually, e.g. "apt-get install
libstdc++2.10-dev".
I often find that somehow skipping the problem package, then doing another
dist-upgrade fixes the problem. Also try "dpkg --configure -a" which will go
configure installed packages that haven't had the auto-config stuff worked
on them. That happens when apt-get installs/upgrades break.
Also, in general, make sure you're mirrors are current. Using the ones you
list above you should be in good shape, though, so in this instance you're
fine.

BTW, for those who might know...
Does apt-get generally stop after two dpkg errors? That seems to be the
pattern I see. When overcoming one of the errors, but not the other apt-get
will continue until it runs into a 3rd error ( which is, at that point, the
2nd error in the run ).
