Try

sudo dpkg --purge icedtea-netx:amd64

If that fails with a dependency error, try

sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends icedtea-netx:amd64

and finally issue

sudo apt-get install icedtea-netx:amd64

Please copy/paste all output as done before.

There seems to be a problem with an incomplete java-8 installation.
Try (re-)installing java-8-openjdk with the command

sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-8-jre
sudo dpkg --configure -a

If that still fails, you might try using a hack:

sudo ln -sv /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thank you everybody for your help! I purged all java-8 and now I'm not getting any errors.
