Hi,
please describe the steps you've made and system specs.
Which package you're trying to install from where.
Which system architecture is in use, e.g. 32bit, 64bit, Gnome, KDE, firefox, opera?
Open a terminal
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnomeTerminal

give us the output of:
uname -a

Please read tutorials:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
***this will install flash as well as all of the other video and audio codecs and java all in one package without any problems regarding architecture.***

Hopefully :)
Make sure you run this from a terminal. It will display a graphical screen to accept the java license and it wont display correctly running it from synaptic package manager.

Can you help with this problem?
