Did you try the Webupd8 Java PPA?
Have you reported the issue to Oracle?

To add our PPA and install the latest Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu (supports Ubuntu 13.10, 13.04, 12.10, 12.04 and 10.04), use the commands below:

> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

>>> This solve the problem, but have been using the previous method in most of my Ubuntu 12.04 installations
>>> It should have the same results when I successfully installed it previously
